Usage: The term "בּד" (bad) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to linen garments, often associated with priestly attire. It signifies purity and separation, reflecting the sacred duties of the priests.

Context: The Hebrew word "בּד" (bad) is primarily used to describe linen garments, particularly those worn by priests in the service of the Tabernacle and Temple. Linen, being a fine and pure fabric, was considered appropriate for the holy duties of the priesthood. The use of linen garments is prescribed in several passages, emphasizing the need for cleanliness and sanctity in worship.

In Exodus 28:42, the priests are instructed to wear linen undergarments to cover their nakedness, ensuring modesty and purity during their service. Leviticus 16:4 describes the high priest's attire on the Day of Atonement, which includes a linen tunic, linen undergarments, a linen sash, and a linen turban, all made from "בּד" (bad). This attire symbolizes the high priest's role as a mediator between God and the people, requiring him to be set apart and holy.

The use of linen is also mentioned in Ezekiel 44:17-18, where the priests are commanded to wear linen garments to prevent sweat, further highlighting the theme of purity and separation from anything that might defile their service.

Linen garments, therefore, are not merely functional but carry deep symbolic meaning, representing the holiness and dedication required of those who serve in the presence of God.
