Silk:
Heb. demeshek, "damask," silk cloth manufactured at Damascus, Amo 3:12. A.V., "in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch;" R.V., "in the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed" (marg., "in Damascus on a bed").
Heb. meshi, (Eze 16:10,13, rendered "silk"). In Gen 41:42 (marg. A.V.), Pro 31:22 (R.V., "fine linen"), the word "silk" ought to be "fine linen."
Silk was common in New Testament times (Rev 18:12).
