2. glory, majesty, splendor — Figurative/abstract sense of adderet: glory, majesty, splendor, magnificence. Used metaphorically in prophetic literature where the word shifts from the concrete 'garment' to an abstract quality of grandeur or impressiveness. In Zech 11:3 (addartam 'their glory/majesty'), the shepherds wail because their glory (metaphorical cloak of power/prestige) is ruined. In Ezek 17:8 (addaret 'majestic/splendid'), the vine in the allegory of the eagles becomes majestic/splendid. The multilingual glosses reflect the abstract meaning: Arabic 'azamatuhum 'their greatness,' 'azimatan 'great/magnificent'; Korean yeonghwa 'glory'; Spanish majestad/esplendida; Hindi shan/shandar 'glory/splendid.' This sense is distinct from the physical garment meaning, expressing honor, dignity, or impressive appearance. 2×
