Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to bleach, indicating a process related to the preparation of the material.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1039: βύσσος (bussos) • This Greek term is used in the New Testament to refer to fine linen, similar to the Hebrew בּוּץ. It appears in contexts describing luxurious or priestly garments, such as in Revelation 18:12, where it lists the merchandise of Babylon. Usage: The word בּוּץ is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to fine linen or cotton garments, often worn by priests or individuals of high status. It signifies purity and luxury. Context: בּוּץ (buts) is a term found in the Hebrew Bible that denotes a type of fine fabric, typically understood as cotton or fine linen. This material was highly valued in ancient times for its quality and was often used in the making of garments for the elite, including priests and royalty. The process of bleaching, implied by the root of the word, suggests that בּוּץ was a bright, white fabric, symbolizing purity and holiness. In the context of the tabernacle and temple, בּוּץ was used for priestly garments, as seen in passages like Exodus 28:39, where it describes the attire of the high priest. The use of בּוּץ in the construction of sacred garments underscores its association with divine service and sanctity. Additionally, the luxurious nature of בּוּץ is highlighted in descriptions of royal attire, as in Esther 8:15, where Mordecai is clothed in fine linen as a sign of honor and authority.
