Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׂלַם (shalám), which means "to be complete" or "to be at peace."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2440: ἱμάτιον (himation) • A garment, cloak, or robe.
• G2441: ἱματισμός (himatismos) • Clothing, apparel.
• G4749: στολή (stolē) • A long robe, often used to denote a garment of dignity or honor.

These Greek terms correspond to the Hebrew שַׂלְמָה in their reference to garments and clothing, emphasizing the continuity of the concept of clothing as both a practical necessity and a symbol of status and righteousness across the biblical texts.

Usage: The term שַׂלְמָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a piece of clothing, typically an outer garment or robe. It is often associated with clothing that provides covering and protection.

Context: The Hebrew word שַׂלְמָה (salmah) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, signifying a garment or outer robe. This term is often used to describe clothing that is worn for warmth or as a covering. In ancient Israelite culture, garments were significant not only for their practical use but also for their symbolic meanings, often representing status, identity, and dignity.

In the Berean Standard Bible, שַׂלְמָה is translated as "garment" or "robe" in passages such as Genesis 9:23, where Shem and Japheth cover their father Noah with a garment, and in Deuteronomy 22:17, where it refers to a garment as evidence in a legal matter. The use of שַׂלְמָה in these contexts highlights the importance of clothing in maintaining honor and propriety.

The concept of clothing in the biblical narrative often extends beyond mere physical covering to include themes of righteousness and divine provision. For instance, in Isaiah 61:10, the imagery of being clothed with garments of salvation and a robe of righteousness underscores the spiritual significance of garments in the biblical worldview.
