I find this difficult passage to be the most manipulated one in the Bible. Many have completely reversed the message of v. 10 & 16 to make it flow with traditional understanding of the other verses. This is cause for concern. What is the root error?
The word "head" in v. 3, sometimes seems to indicate chief or superiority. It can also mean top, source or origin, as "head of a river" - where the river begins.
The same Gr. word is used; "The stone which the builder rejected has become the HEAD of the corner (foundation stone, source of stability". Also, the Roman soldier used the same Gr. word, translated to "sum. With a great sum obtained I this freedom"( Acts 22:28). The head, or sum of money was the origin or source to purchase his citizenship.
In our 1 Cor. 7-9, the word head-kephale is also described as source or origin in the creation sequence. The man's body was the source of material for the woman, and she was made for him, hense "the glory of the man is the woman" i.e. he exults and delights in her. It appears that this use of the word head does not mean superior or boss but rather source, in creation.
Paul says, "judge in yourselves" v.3, and v. 10 says the woman ought to have power on/over the head, which is true to the Gr. "Exusia epi" and other early translations. Exusia is defined as "Jurisdiction, rule, liberty and authority. Rev. 2:6 used the same 2 Gr. words; "I will give him POWER OVER the nations. We wouldn't twist that like we have v. 10 in our passage.
But, why would Paul nail down a case, then turn around? In ch.1&2 v.2, he is determined to promote "only Christ and him crucified". Then from ch.7 on, he does respond to their less significant questions with duel comments, using such words as "nevertheless", which we find in our v.11. First about the human race from Adam, then those "In the Lord"(v.11). The believer's source of connection is now through Jesus rather than through Adam.
Throughout the Bible, "veil / covering" is used as a symbol of defeat or disgrace ( 2 Sam. 15:30, Jere. 14:3, Isa. 25:7 and Matt. 27:51), before the atonement. So, a symbolic head covering is appropriate for worldly religions without the atonement, but might become an idol, distracting believers from him, hense "We have no such custom, neither do the churches of God". EVERY man in v.3 might include women.
