Thoughts And Things Of The Bible -- Caul
In regard to the word "caul…"
(Heb. yothe'reth; i.e., "something redundant"), the
membrane which covers the upper part of the liver (Ex. 29:13, 22; Lev.
3:4, 10, 15; 4:9; 7:4; marg., "midriff"). In Hos. 13:8 (Heb.
seghor; i.e., "an enclosure") the pericardium, or parts about
the heart, is meant.
Also, the word "caul" refers to a sort of ornamental
head-dress, (Isaiah 3:18) with a net for its base, worn by females.
Others explain it as meaning "wreaths worn round the forehead,
reaching from one ear to the other."
