Strong's Lexicon chitón: Tunic, garment, inner garment Original Word: χιτών Word Origin: Derived from a Semitic origin, akin to the Hebrew כְּתֹנֶת (kethoneth) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3801 כְּתֹנֶת (kethoneth): Refers to a tunic or coat, often used in the context of priestly garments or the coat of many colors given to Joseph. Usage: The term "chitón" refers to a basic garment worn in ancient times, typically an inner garment or tunic. It was a simple piece of clothing, often made of linen or wool, worn next to the skin. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the clothing worn by individuals, often in contexts emphasizing simplicity or humility. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the chitón was a common article of clothing for both men and women. It was usually a sleeveless or short-sleeved garment that reached the knees or ankles. The chitón was often worn under a himation (a larger outer garment) or a cloak. In Jewish culture, the chitón was similar to the Hebrew kethoneth, a garment worn by both the common people and the priests, signifying modesty and purity.
