Strong's Lexicon bag: Garment, clothing Original Word: בּג Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to cover or conceal. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for garments is "ἱμάτιον" (Strong's Greek 2440), which also refers to clothing or outer garments. Usage: The Hebrew word "בַּג" (bag) refers to a garment or piece of clothing. It is used in the context of clothing that covers the body, often implying a basic or simple garment. The term can also carry connotations of deceit or treachery, as clothing can metaphorically represent one's outward appearance or actions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, clothing was not only a necessity for protection and modesty but also a symbol of one's social status and identity. Garments were often made from wool, linen, or animal skins, and their quality and style could indicate wealth or poverty. The act of covering oneself with a garment could symbolize protection, honor, or even deceit, depending on the context. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originscribal error for baz, q.v.
