Berean Strong's Lexicon sarbal: Tunic, garment Original Word: סַרְבָּל Word Origin: Likely of foreign origin, possibly borrowed from Persian or Akkadian, reflecting the influence of surrounding cultures on the Hebrew language. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of a tunic or garment can be related to Greek terms such as χιτών (chitōn - Strong's Greek 5509), which also refers to a tunic or inner garment. Usage: The term "sarbal" refers to a type of garment or tunic. It is used in the context of clothing, particularly in reference to garments worn by individuals in positions of authority or those of high status. The word suggests a garment that is more formal or significant than everyday attire. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, clothing was an important indicator of social status and identity. Tunics like the "sarbal" were often worn by officials, nobility, or those serving in royal courts. The style and material of such garments could signify wealth, position, and cultural affiliation. The use of the term in the Hebrew Bible reflects the cultural exchanges between Israel and its neighboring empires, such as Persia and Babylon, where such garments were common.
