Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἐνδύω (endýō), meaning "to put on" or "to clothe."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of clothing in the Hebrew Bible is often represented by words such as לְבוּשׁ (lebush, Strong's Hebrew 3830) and בֶּגֶד (beged, Strong's Hebrew 899), which similarly denote garments or clothing. These terms are used throughout the Old Testament to describe physical attire and, at times, metaphorically to represent spiritual states or conditions.

Usage: The word ἔνδυμα appears in the New Testament to denote physical clothing or garments. It is used in contexts that emphasize the outward appearance or attire of individuals.

Context: The Greek term ἔνδυμα (éndyma) is used in the New Testament to describe clothing or garments. It appears in several passages, often highlighting the significance of attire in both literal and metaphorical contexts. In Matthew 3:4, John the Baptist is described as wearing "a garment of camel's hair," emphasizing his ascetic lifestyle. In Matthew 6:25, Jesus instructs His followers not to worry about their life, including what they will wear, pointing to God's provision and the futility of anxiety over material needs.

The term is also used in parables to convey deeper spiritual truths. In Matthew 22:11-12, the parable of the wedding banquet includes a guest who is not wearing wedding clothes (ἔνδυμα), symbolizing the necessity of being spiritually prepared and clothed in righteousness to enter the kingdom of heaven.

The use of ἔνδυμα in the New Testament underscores the importance of both physical and spiritual preparation. While it refers to literal clothing, it often serves as a metaphor for spiritual readiness and the righteousness required to stand before God.
