Footnotes
| 1364 | Strong’s #3830, lebush. Clothing. This word is only found once here in the Pentateuch. It is used figuratively of an owned woman (wife) in the prophecy of Malachi 2:16 literal, “For he has hated the sending-out, Yahweh elohe of Israel has said, and he has covered-up violence upon his clothing [lebush], has said Yahweh of armies; and you all have guarded yourselves in your wind, and you all are not dealing treacherously [bagad].” The last verb dealing treacherously is bagad (#898) which in the noun form is beged (#899) meaning covering, robes, wrapping, and treachery. These are the garments that are frequently torn in the Scriptures which gives hint to the mystery of Christ’s robes being torn in four pieces but his inner (hidden) tunic left intact, Then the soldiers, when they crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was seamless, woven from the top all throughout. Therefore they said to one another, ‘Let us not cleave it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it will be,’ that the Scripture might be fulfilled the saying: ‘They divided My garments [beged] among them, and for My clothing [lebush] they cast a lot.’ the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these ones make.

| 1365 | Strong’s #5497, סוּת sut. Vesture, covering. This word appears only here in Scripture. It is supposed by some to be, by scribal error, related to masveh מַסְוֶה (#4533) which is the special veil worn by Moses in Exodus 34:33-35. |
