linen garment, wrapper; a rectangular piece of fine linen worn as an outer garment
This term denotes a fine linen garment or wrapper, likely rectangular in shape, worn as an outer garment or (at night) as the sole covering. In Judges 14:12-13, Samson offers thirty linen garments as part of his riddle wager. Proverbs 31:24 commends the capable woman who makes and sells such garments. Isaiah 3:23 lists them among the luxury items of Jerusalem's wealthy women. The word may be a loanword, possibly related to Greek σινδών or Syriac/Aramaic equivalents.
