Context: The Hebrew word שִׁית (shiyth) is a term used to denote a type of garment, often translated as "dress" or "tunic" in English. This word is rooted in the verb שׁוּת (shuth), which means "to place" or "to set," suggesting the garment's function as something that is placed upon the body. In the cultural and historical context of the Hebrew Bible, garments were significant not only for their practical use but also for their symbolic meanings, often indicating status, role, or identity.

The use of שִׁית (shiyth) in the biblical text highlights the importance of clothing in ancient Israelite society. Garments were often made from wool, linen, or other available materials and could vary in style and complexity. The tunic or robe represented by שִׁית (shiyth) would have been a common and essential piece of clothing, serving both functional and ceremonial purposes.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated in a way that reflects its original context, maintaining the cultural and historical significance of the garment. The translation choices aim to convey the meaning of the text accurately while preserving the nuances of the original Hebrew.
