Usage: The term מָלָח is used in the context of describing worn-out or ragged clothing, often symbolizing poverty or humility. Context: The Hebrew word מָלָח (malach) appears in the context of describing garments that are old and worn out. This term is indicative of clothing that has been used extensively, to the point of becoming ragged. In the ancient Near Eastern context, clothing was a significant indicator of one's social status and wealth. Therefore, wearing מָלָח could symbolize a state of poverty or humility. The imagery of old garments is often used metaphorically in the Bible to convey spiritual truths, such as the need for renewal or the contrast between the old and the new. The concept of worn-out garments can also be seen in prophetic literature, where it may symbolize the transient nature of human achievements or the need for divine intervention to bring about restoration.
