Strong's Lexicon salmah: Garment, cloak, robe Original Word: שַׂלְמָה Word Origin: Derived from the root שׂלם (shalam), which means "to be complete" or "to be whole." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "salmah" is ἱμάτιον (Strong's Greek 2440), which also means garment or cloak. Usage: The Hebrew word "salmah" refers to a garment or outer cloak. It is often used in the context of clothing that provides warmth and protection. In biblical times, a salmah was an essential item of clothing, serving both practical and symbolic purposes. It could be used as a covering during the day and as a blanket at night. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, clothing was a significant aspect of daily life and social status. The salmah was a versatile piece of clothing, often made from wool or linen. It was a common garment worn by both men and women, and its quality and style could indicate the wearer's social standing. The salmah also had legal and religious implications, as seen in laws regarding pledges and vows (Exodus 22:26-27).
