Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for עֶשֶׁת, as the concept of specific Hebrew textiles does not have a direct equivalent in the Greek lexicon. However, Greek terms related to clothing and fabric, such as ἱμάτιον (himation) for garment, may serve as functional parallels in the context of Biblical translation and interpretation.

Usage: The term עֶשֶׁת is used in the context of describing a type of fabric or woven material, often associated with garments or coverings.

Context: The Hebrew word עֶשֶׁת (eshet) appears in the context of ancient Hebrew culture, where weaving was a common and essential craft. The term is understood to refer to a specific type of fabric, possibly indicating a particular weave or quality of material. In the ancient Near East, textiles were a significant part of daily life, used for clothing, trade, and ceremonial purposes. The skill of weaving was highly valued, and fabrics varied in texture, color, and design, often reflecting the status and wealth of the wearer.

In the Biblical narrative, fabrics and garments hold symbolic meanings, often representing purity, status, or divine favor. The use of עֶשֶׁת in the scriptures underscores the importance of textiles in the cultural and religious practices of the Israelites. While the specific references to עֶשֶׁת in the Berean Standard Bible are limited, the broader context of fabric and weaving in the Bible highlights the intricate craftsmanship and the role of textiles in expressing identity and devotion.
