white (fabric), fine white linen or cotton; a luxurious textile material
This term refers to white fabric, likely fine linen or possibly cotton, used in royal and luxurious contexts. Both occurrences in Esther describe opulent settings in the Persian court: the palace furnishings in Susa and Mordecai's royal garments. The white material is consistently paired with violet or purple, emphasizing the regal and precious nature of these textiles. BDB notes uncertainty whether the material was cotton or linen, but the context clearly indicates a high-quality white fabric suitable for royalty.

1. sense 1 — White fabric or white stuff, a luxurious textile used in royal settings. In Esther 1:6, it describes the white hangings in the palace of Susa, held with cords of fine linen and purple. In Esther 8:15, it forms part of Mordecai's royal attire alongside violet. The consistent pairing with purple and violet (תכלת) across languages confirms this is a prestigious white material, not simply the color white applied to any object. 2×
