of clothes
A garment, covering, or article of clothing, typically referring to an outer garment or cloak worn by both men and women in ancient Israelite society. The term schimlâh is most often used to denote a substantial cloth covering, such as a cloak, mantle, or wrap, rather than undergarments or tunics. While its most direct sense is a physical item of clothing, it can also refer generically to apparel or clothing as a category in certain passages.
