in sackcloth
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DMS); denotes one instance of the object in dative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative masculine singular form σάκκῳ is rendered with an English prepositional phrase reflecting typical dative force (locative/instrumental), while preserving the root sense of coarse mourning cloth. "Sackcloth" captures the material and its ritual association without adding contextual detail. |
