bad denotes linen as the material of garments, especially ephods and clothing worn in sacred settings.

The clear occurrences identify bad as the material specified for garments: ephods, priestly clothing, undergarments, tunic, sash, turban, and the clothing of a man in Daniel and Ezekiel. Its contribution in Leviticus 6:3 cannot be isolated from the supplied translation.

   The singular form occurs with ephods worn by Samuel and David in 1 Samuel 2:18 and 2 Samuel 6:14. In Leviticus 16:4 the same singular form is repeated for the tunic, undergarments, sash, and turban; the APB renders these as linen garments. Plural forms describe the man clothed in linen in Daniel 10:5 and in Ezekiel 9:2, where he has a writing case at his waist.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the clothing clauses, the APB repeatedly presents the material as “linen,” including “linen ephod,” “linen garments,” and “clothed in linen.” In Leviticus 6:3, the supplied translation does not make this term's contribution identifiable.
