This type of clothing was typically used in ancient Israel as a practical and versatile piece of attire. The mitpachat could serve various purposes, such as providing warmth, modesty, or protection from the elements. It was a common garment in the wardrobe of both men and women, reflecting the cultural and environmental needs of the time.
