Serban Imam Israel

Imam besar mengenakan pakaian emas dengan serban *mitznefet* di kepalanya. Imam yang berlutut di sampingnya mengenakan ikat kepala kerucut *migbahat*.

Serban Imam Israel (Ibrani: מִצְנֶפֶתמִצְנֶפֶת mitznefet) adalah penutup kepala yang dipakai oleh Imam besar Israel ketika ia bertugas di Kemah Suci dan Bait Suci di Yerusalem.^[1]^[2]

Etimologi[sunting | sunting sumber]

Kata Ibrani mitznefet (מִצְנֶפֶת) telah diterjemahkan sebagai "mitre" (KJV) atau "kepala". Itu kemungkinan "serban", yang berasal dari akar kata "membungkus".

Alkitab Ibrani[sunting | sunting sumber]

Serban yang dipakai oleh Imam Besar jauh lebih besar dari penutup kepala imam dan dilibatkan sehingga membentuk serban besar dengan bagian atas datar, menyerupai bunga mekar. Penutup kepala imam berbeda, dilibatkan sehingga berbentuk kerucut, yang disebut migbahat. "Ikat kepala" itu harus dibuat dari lenan halus,^[3] dan seperti semua pakaian kudus, harus dibuat oleh 'pengrajin berbakat ... penuh dengan roh kebijaksanaan'.^[4]

Patam imam (Ibrani tzitz צִיץ "mekar" "bunga") dilekatkan pada serban dengan dua set tali ungu tua: satu dari atas kepala dan yang lain di sekitar sisi kepala setinggi telinga (Keluaran 39:31).

Talmud[sunting | sunting sumber]

Menurut Talmud, mengenakan serban mendamaikan dosa kesombongan bani Israel (B. Zevachim 88b).
