the tunic

Long tunic or basic garment worn next to the skin, typically extending to the knees or ankles, often with sleeves. In the Israelite context, it was the standard undergarment for both men and women, though variations could indicate social status, gender, or ceremonial role. In later contexts, specialized tunics also served priestly or royal functions (e.g., 'coat of many colors' or priestly vestments).
