Berean Strong's Lexicon addereth: Cloak, mantle, splendor, glory Original Word: אַדֶּרֶת Word Origin: From the root אָדַר (adar), meaning "to be great" or "majestic." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "addereth," the concept of a mantle or cloak can be related to Greek words like "himation" (ἱμάτιον), which also refers to a garment or cloak. Usage: The Hebrew word "addereth" primarily refers to a cloak or mantle, often signifying a garment of distinction or authority. It can also denote splendor or glory, reflecting the majesty or grandeur associated with the garment or the person wearing it. In the biblical context, "addereth" is used to describe garments worn by prophets, kings, or people of high status, symbolizing their role and authority. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, clothing was not only functional but also symbolic. A mantle or cloak like the "addereth" was often a sign of one's social status or role. Prophets, for instance, wore distinctive garments that set them apart, and the transfer of a mantle could symbolize the passing of prophetic authority, as seen in the account of Elijah and Elisha. The "addereth" could be made of various materials, including animal skins, and its quality often reflected the wearer's wealth or position.
