#### Structure and formatting ####
|

Some translations prefer to set apart quotations of the Old Testament. The ULB and many other English translations indent the lines of 3:10-12, which is a reference to the Old Testament.

##### "Outward ornaments" #####
|
||
|
|
These were signs of a beautiful woman in ancient Israel. They are contrasted with "inner" beauty or godly character. Many cultures have different standards of external beauty for women. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/godly]])

|
##### Synecdoche #####
|
||
|
|
In the referenced verses, the psalmist uses several synecdoches to describe God. This is because God is indescribable and often requires images and other figures of speech for us to understand him. It is also common in poetry to use different figures of speech. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])

Scholars are divided over how to understand this passage in light of its historical and cultural context. Some scholars have the belief that men and women are perfectly equal in all things (known as egalitarianism). Other scholars have the belief that men and women were created to serve in distinctly different roles in marriage and the church (known as complementarianism). How one understands this issue will likely affect how this passage is translated.
