G4749 (στολή, stolē): This Greek word refers to a garment or robe, directly correlating with the idea of a change of garments, similar to חלִיפָה in the Hebrew context.

The concept of חלִיפָה (chaliphah) in the Hebrew Bible underscores the transformative power of change, whether it be through physical garments or metaphorical shifts in one's life or spiritual journey.

Usage: The word חלִיפָה is used in the context of change or exchange, often referring to a change of garments or a transformation. It appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, illustrating the idea of transition or substitution.

It is used in contexts that describe a physical or metaphorical transformation.
