Berean Strong's Lexicon simlah: Garment, clothing, robe, outer garment Original Word: שִׂמְלָה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to wrap or cover. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "simlah" is "ἱμάτιον" (Strong's Greek 2440), which also means garment or cloak. Usage: The Hebrew word "simlah" refers to a piece of clothing, typically an outer garment or robe. It is often used in the context of everyday attire in ancient Israel, signifying a basic and essential item of clothing. The term can denote a simple garment worn by both men and women, serving as a covering or wrap. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, clothing was not only a practical necessity but also held social and symbolic significance. The "simlah" was a versatile garment, often made of wool or linen, and could be used as a cloak during the day and a blanket at night. It was a common possession, and its quality and style could indicate the wearer's social status. The simplicity of the "simlah" reflects the modest lifestyle of the Israelites and their reliance on God's provision.
