It says that both men and women brought forth rings, nose rings, necklaces, etc (all jewelry of gold). Both men and women wore these things - even men and women who were Godly in heart.


But it should also be acknowledged that these people died in the wilderness and was not allowed to enter into the holy land.

Numbers 14
31But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.

32But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.

33And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.

34After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.

35I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

1 Peter 3: 3-13
It does not appear that peter was talking about the adorning to cover nakedness, he was talking about the adorning for show( to show off)

People who are lucky just to have clothes to wear are not wearing them just to show off.

Also Paul explained that if a woman was going to cut her hair short like a mans she should just go ahead and shave it as it would be all the same and then put a sack over it to cover it up.

The reason for Pauls comment is because some of the people were trying to bring in the customs of the people who worshipped the Goddess Diana.

Paul summarized in the verses below.
13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?

14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

Hair is the only covering a woman needs.

We do not have this custom they are trying to bring into the Church.

Red Herring on your part. If you use logical fallacies I will spot them.

The people didn’t die in the wilderness because they wore jewelry. They died in the wilderness because of unbelief 10 times the Lord looked to see faith from them and all He got back was unbelief, complaining and, etc.

Secondly, Peter emphasized the inner over the outer man.

Sarah - a Godly woman - wore jewry, and I would e surprised if she didn’t wear makeup.

Third, just because Jezebel wore makeup doesn’t mean that one can use unbiblical broad brush strokes and say that all women who wear makeup are Jezebels.

Fourth, Paul never said just how long long is for a man. We all must do as God tells each of us and there will be differing lengths, based upon convictions.
