v. 14 – The LXX seems to have read לְבוּשָֽׁהּ without the mappiq, as the passive participle לְבוּשָׁה "dressed" περιβεβλημένη. It also reads the first word of v. 15, לִרְקָמוֹת֮, as further modifying this participle in the same sentence: ἐν κροσσωτοῖς χρυσοῖς περιβεβλημένη πεποικιλμένη "decked out with golden tassels, in many colors." This phrase is also added verbatim to the end of v. 10, however, so the LXX is questionable here.[1]

  1. ↑ It is also the only place in the LXX that the passive participle of ποικίλλω is used, rather than the more common adjective, ποικίλος.
