Strong's Lexicon dermatinos: Made of leather Original Word: δερμάτινος Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: dermatinos Pronunciation: der-MAT-ee-nos Phonetic Spelling: (der-mat'-ee-nos) Definition: made of hide, leathern. Meaning: Made of skin or leather. Word Origin: Derived from δέρμα (derma), meaning "skin" or "hide." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek word δερμάτινος does not have a direct one-to-one correspondence in the Hebrew Bible, but it is conceptually related to Hebrew terms for leather or skin, such as: - Strong's Hebrew 5785: עוֹר (or) • meaning "skin" or "hide." - Strong's Hebrew 5784: עוּר (ur) • a root word meaning "to be bare" or "to be made bare," often associated with skin or leather. These Hebrew terms are used in various contexts in the Old Testament, often describing coverings or garments made from animal skins, similar to the usage of δερμάτινος in the New Testament. Usage: The term δερμάτινος is used in the New Testament to describe items made of leather, specifically in the context of clothing or accessories. Context: The Greek word δερμάτινος appears in the New Testament in the context of describing leather garments. It is used to denote items crafted from animal hides, emphasizing their durability and utility. In the ancient world, leather was a common material for clothing and other goods due to its availability and resilience. In the Berean Standard Bible, δερμάτινος is found in Mark 1:6: "John was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey." Here, the term describes the leather belt worn by John the Baptist. This detail highlights John's ascetic lifestyle and his connection to the prophetic tradition, reminiscent of Elijah, who also wore a leather belt (2 Kings 1:8). The use of a leather belt signifies simplicity and practicality, aligning with John's message of repentance and preparation for the coming of the Messiah. Leather items, such as belts, were essential in the attire of individuals living in the rugged terrains of the ancient Near East. They provided necessary support and functionality, often used to secure garments and carry tools or weapons. The mention of a leather belt in the biblical narrative serves to paint a vivid picture of the character's lifestyle and mission.
