Mantle:
the word employed in the Authorized Version to translate no less than four Hebrew terms, entirely distinct and independent in both derivation and meaning.
(1.) (Judges 4:18) the garment with which Jael covered Sisera.
(2.) Rendered "mantle" in 1 Samuel 15:27; 28:14; Ezra 9:3; 9:5, etc. This word is in other passages of the Authorized Version rendered "coat," "cloak" and "robe."
(3.) Isaiah 3:22 only. Apparently some article of a lady's dress.
(4.) (1 Kings 19:13; 19:19; 2 Kings 2:8; 2:13-14). The sole garment of the prophet Elijah. It was probably of sheepskin, such as is worn by the modern dervishes.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
