Berean Strong's Lexicon kesuth: Covering, garment, clothing Original Word: כְּסוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּסָה (kasah), meaning "to cover" or "to conceal." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4018 (peribolaion): A covering, cloak, or mantle. - G2440 (himation): A garment or robe. Usage: The Hebrew word "kesuth" primarily refers to a covering or garment. It is used in the context of clothing that provides protection and modesty. In the biblical narrative, garments often symbolize status, identity, and provision. "Kesuth" can denote both literal clothing and metaphorical coverings, such as God's provision and protection over His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, clothing was a significant aspect of daily life, serving not only practical purposes but also indicating social status and religious identity. Garments were often made from wool, linen, or animal skins, and were essential for protection against the elements. The concept of covering extends beyond physical garments to include God's protective care, as seen in various biblical metaphors.
