Usage: The word λίνων is used in the context of describing linen garments or materials, often highlighting their quality, purity, or ceremonial significance. Context: The Greek term λίνων appears in the New Testament to denote linen, a fabric highly valued in ancient cultures for its durability and fine quality. Linen was often associated with purity and was used in various religious and cultural contexts. In the biblical narrative, linen garments are frequently mentioned in relation to priestly attire and burial cloths, symbolizing righteousness and sanctity. In the Berean Standard Bible, linen is referenced in several passages, illustrating its importance in both everyday life and religious practices. For instance, in the context of the New Testament, linen is notably mentioned in the burial of Jesus, where Joseph of Arimathea wraps Jesus' body in a clean linen cloth (Matthew 27:59, BSB). This act signifies respect and honor, adhering to Jewish burial customs of the time. Linen's significance extends beyond its physical properties; it often symbolizes spiritual truths. In Revelation, the fine linen worn by the saints represents the righteous acts of believers (Revelation 19:8, BSB), underscoring the fabric's association with purity and holiness.
