Strong's Lexicon tilbosheth: Garment of shame, shameful clothing Original Word: תִּלְבֹּשֶׁת Word Origin: Derived from the root לָבַשׁ (lavash), meaning "to wear" or "to clothe," combined with בֹּשֶׁת (bosheth), meaning "shame." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tilbosheth," the concept of shameful clothing can be related to Greek terms such as αἰσχύνη (aischynē), meaning "shame" or "disgrace," and ἱμάτιον (himation), meaning "garment" or "clothing." Usage: The term "tilbosheth" refers to clothing or garments that are associated with shame or disgrace. It is used metaphorically to describe a state of dishonor or humiliation, often in a spiritual or moral context. The word suggests that the outward appearance reflects an inner condition of shame. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, clothing was not only a practical necessity but also a symbol of one's status, identity, and moral condition. Garments could signify honor or shame, purity or impurity. The concept of "tilbosheth" would resonate with a society that placed significant emphasis on external appearances as reflections of internal states. The idea of wearing shameful garments would be understood as a metaphor for living in a state of sin or disgrace before God and the community.
