Strong's Lexicon shobel: Train, hem, flowing skirt Original Word: שׁבֶל Word Origin: Derived from the root שׁבל (shabal), meaning "to flow" or "to trail." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "shobel," the concept of a garment's train or hem can be related to Greek terms like κράσπεδον (kraspedon), which refers to the fringe or border of a garment, as seen in the New Testament (e.g., Matthew 9:20). Usage: The term "shobel" refers to the trailing part of a garment, such as the hem or train of a robe. It is often used to describe the flowing, majestic garments worn by royalty or high priests, symbolizing dignity, honor, and authority. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, clothing was a significant indicator of one's social status and role. The length and quality of a garment's train often denoted the wearer's importance. For instance, the longer the train, the more prestigious the individual. This concept is reflected in the biblical context, where the train of a robe signifies majesty and divine authority, as seen in the attire of kings and priests.
