Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root ἔσθημα (esthēma), which means "clothing" or "garment."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of clothing in the Hebrew Bible is often represented by words such as בֶּגֶד (beged • Strong's Hebrew 899) and לְבוּשׁ (lebush • Strong's Hebrew 3830), which similarly denote garments or attire. These terms are used in various contexts, including descriptions of priestly garments, royal attire, and symbolic representations of spiritual states.

Usage: The word ἐσθῆσις is used in the New Testament to denote clothing or garments, often in contexts that highlight the appearance or status of individuals based on their attire.

Context: The term ἐσθῆσις appears in the New Testament to describe clothing, often in contexts that emphasize the significance of attire in social and religious settings. Clothing in biblical times was not merely functional but also symbolic, representing one's social status, role, or spiritual condition. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἐσθῆσις is used to illustrate the contrast between external appearances and internal realities. For example, in the parable of the wedding banquet, the attire of the guests signifies their readiness and worthiness to participate in the kingdom of God. The emphasis on clothing in biblical narratives often serves as a metaphor for righteousness, purity, and the transformation expected of believers. The use of ἐσθῆσις in the New Testament underscores the importance of being clothed in righteousness and the new identity found in Christ.
