Berean Strong's Lexicon karbel: Cloak, mantle Original Word: כַּרְבֵּל Word Origin: Derived from an Aramaic root, possibly related to the Akkadian word "karballatu," meaning "mantle" or "cloak." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of a cloak or mantle can be related to Greek terms such as "himation" (Strong's Greek 2440), which also refers to a garment or outer robe. Usage: The term "karbel" refers to a type of garment, specifically a cloak or mantle. It is used in the context of clothing, often indicating a garment of significance or ceremonial use. In the biblical context, it may denote a garment worn by individuals of status or during specific occasions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, clothing was not only functional but also symbolic of one's status, role, or identity. A cloak or mantle like the "karbel" could signify authority, dignity, or a particular office. Such garments were often made from fine materials and could be richly decorated, reflecting the wearer's social standing or the importance of the occasion.
