Talking of which, a puzzling Rashi in Shmos 31:18 dh Kechaloso: "Ma kallah<br>
miskashetes b-24 kishutin - hen ho'amurim besefer Yeshaya [3: 18-23]"<br>
<br>
However when you look it up, you'll find that this is the same Yeshayahu<br>
that RSS refers to and the Navi there is warning the Bnos Yisroel of<br>
terrible punishments for outfitting themselves with these 24 kishutin.<br>
Nowhere is there any mention of this being OK and the standard for a kallah.<br></blockquote></div><br>The passuk doesn't say that their sin was the wearing of these 24 kishutin, only that the punishment would be manifested through the loss of the kishutin. The sins are located in passuk 16, and don't have to do so much with what they wear as what they do when they're wearing it.<br>
