beged
their clothes
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.

SIBI-P1 Translation H899-17
their garments
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state (בִּגְדֵי) with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix (־הֶם). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בֶּגֶד denotes a garment or covering; in the masculine plural construct with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix, it means "garments of them," hence "their garments." The rendering preserves the concrete sense of clothing derived from the root’s covering concept. |
