8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. If you preach that a woman’s salvation and power comes from uncut hair, you’re cursed. If Gentiles weren't required to be circumcised for salvation, how is uncut hair on women going to bring salvation? Bible scholars have always been puzzled about Paul inserting angels right here in these scriptures, we can see that the veil on the woman’s head is a sign that she has authority over her, and that would be her husband. How do the angels fit into this picture? We are given no clues, or explanations. But here is something to think about found in Isaiah. The word katakalupto occurs also in the Septuagint (a Greek translation of the Old Testament dating from the 3rd or 2nd century B.C.). It occurs, for example, in Isaiah 6:2: Isaiah 6:2 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. Here, the seraphim are said to cover (i.e. to veil or conceal) their faces and their feet. As the angels are in relation to God, so the woman is in relation to man. God's face is uncovered; angels in His presence are veiled. Man's face is uncovered; woman in His presence is to be veiled. For her not to be covered would be improper and offend the angels.
