Strong's Lexicon pesheth: Linen, Flax Original Word: פִשְׁתֶּה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to peel or strip Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1035: βύσσινος (bussinos) - fine linen - G1040: βύσσος (bussos) - linen Usage: The Hebrew word "pesheth" refers to linen or flax, a plant fiber used in ancient times to make cloth. Linen was highly valued in biblical times for its quality and durability. It was often used for making garments, including priestly robes, and was considered a symbol of purity and righteousness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, linen was a significant textile, often associated with wealth and status due to the labor-intensive process required to produce it. The cultivation of flax and the production of linen were important economic activities. Linen garments were worn by priests during temple service, signifying holiness and separation unto God. The use of linen in religious contexts underscores its symbolic association with purity and divine service.
