Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5509 χιτών (chitōn): Refers to a tunic or inner garment, similar in function to the Hebrew kethoneth.

Usage: The term "kethoneth" refers to a basic garment or tunic worn next to the skin, often made of linen or wool. It was a common piece of clothing in ancient Israel, serving as an undergarment or a simple outer garment. The kethoneth was typically a long shirt-like piece, reaching to the knees or ankles, and was worn by both men and women.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern culture, the kethoneth was a fundamental piece of clothing, signifying modesty and covering. It was often worn under a cloak or mantle and was essential for daily life. The kethoneth could vary in quality and decoration, indicating the wearer's social status. For priests, the kethoneth was part of the sacred vestments, symbolizing purity and service to God.
