שִׂמְלָ֣ה
𐤔𐤌𐤋𐤄
simlâh
a cloak
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.

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
outer garment
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'outer covering garment' in P1 is too verbose for the immediate context. 'outer garment' preserves the specificity and matches the context, as the possession of a single cloak/outer garment is in focus. |
