It is frequently mentioned in the Old Testament, such as in Genesis 37:3, where Joseph's "coat of many colors" is described as a kethoneth. Usage: The term χιτών is used in the New Testament to refer to a basic garment, often mentioned in contexts of clothing and attire. It is distinct from the outer garment or cloak (ἱμάτιον, himation). Context: The χιτών was a fundamental piece of clothing in the ancient Near East and Greco-Roman world. It was typically a simple, sleeveless or short-sleeved garment made of linen or wool, worn next to the skin. In the New Testament, the χιτών is mentioned in several contexts, illustrating its common use and cultural significance.
