◄ 6446. pas ►
Strong's Lexicon pas: Tunic, coat, piece, part Original Word: פַס Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: pac Pronunciation: pahs Phonetic Spelling: (pas) Definition: Tunic, coat, piece, part Meaning: a long and sleeved tunic Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to disperse Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "pas" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew cultural term. However, garments and robes are often referred to in the Greek New Testament with terms like "χιτών" (chitōn - G5509) for tunic. Usage: The Hebrew word "pas" primarily refers to a piece or part of a garment, often translated as "tunic" or "coat" in English. It is most famously used to describe the "coat of many colors" given to Joseph by his father Jacob, symbolizing favor and distinction (Genesis 37:3). The term can also refer to a long-sleeved garment, indicating a garment of special design or significance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, clothing was not only functional but also a symbol of status and identity. A "pas" garment, particularly one that was colorful or long-sleeved, would have been a sign of special favor or rank. Such garments were often worn by those who did not engage in manual labor, indicating a position of privilege or authority. The giving of a special garment could signify a father's blessing or a mark of inheritance.
