Senses in use

  1. A distinctive narrative garment · dominant

    In Genesis 37:3 the form occurs in the clause where Israel makes a tunic for Joseph; Genesis 37:23 and Genesis 37:32 place it in the actions of stripping it from Joseph and sending it to his father. In 2 Samuel 13:18 the APB renders a garment worn by the king's virgin daughters, and in 2 Samuel 13:19 it renders the garment Tamar tears.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all five verses, the APB presents the garment as a "long-sleeved tunic," whether it is made, worn, stripped off, sent, or torn. This rendering is treated as confirmation of the garment context rather than a separate lexical distinction.
