However, Greek terms related to clothing or garments in the New Testament include ἱμάτιον (Strong's Greek 2440), which means "garment" or "cloak." Usage: The term כַּרְבְּלָא is used in the context of clothing, specifically referring to a type of outer garment or mantle. Context: The Aramaic term כַּרְבְּלָא appears in the Book of Daniel, specifically in Daniel 3:21. In this passage, the term is used to describe the garments worn by Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego when they were cast into the fiery furnace. The mantle, or cloak, is part of the attire that signifies their status and identity. The use of this term highlights the cultural and historical context of the Babylonian exile, where Aramaic was a common language. The mantle, as a piece of clothing, serves not only a practical purpose but also a symbolic one, representing the dignity and position of the individuals wearing it. The narrative in Daniel underscores the miraculous protection provided by God, as the mantles and other garments of the three men were unharmed by the fire, illustrating divine intervention and the preservation of the faithful.
