Strong's Lexicon shul: Hem, skirt, train Original Word: שׁוּל Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to hang down Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2899 (kraspedon): Refers to the fringe or tassel of a garment, similar to the Hebrew concept of "shul" as the hem or border. Usage: The Hebrew word "shul" refers to the lower edge or border of a garment, often translated as "hem," "skirt," or "train." It is used in the context of clothing, particularly the flowing parts of robes or garments that hang down. In biblical texts, it can symbolize authority, dignity, or the presence of God, as seen in the imagery of divine robes. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern culture, the hem or fringe of a garment held significant meaning. It often represented the identity and authority of the wearer. In Israelite society, the hem of a garment could be adorned with tassels (tzitzit) as a reminder of the commandments (Numbers 15:38-39). The concept of the "train" of a robe, especially in a royal or divine context, conveyed majesty and splendor.
