beged
by his garment
A garment or article of clothing worn to cover the body; extends to mean raiment, apparel, or vesture in general. In metaphorical or abstract contexts, beged refers to clothing as a symbol of status, identity, or moral condition. In a small number of passages, especially in poetical or prophetic texts, beged may also convey a sense of unfaithfulness or treachery (drawing on association with the root), but this is rare and context-dependent.

his garment
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct state with 3rd person masculine singular suffix. |
