Throughout the Scriptures, apparel is often mentioned in the context of cultural practices, religious observances, and moral teachings. Old Testament Context In the Old Testament, apparel often signifies status, identity, and religious observance. <a href="/genesis/3-21.htm">Genesis 3:21</a> records the first instance of clothing, where God made garments of skin for Adam and Eve after the Fall, indicating a divine provision and the covering of human shame. Clothing in ancient Israel was typically made from wool, linen, or animal skins, and its style and quality could denote social status or wealth. The priestly garments described in <a href="/bsb/exodus/28.htm">Exodus 28</a> are particularly significant, as they were designed for glory and beauty, symbolizing the holiness and service of the priests. The high priest's ephod, breastplate, and other garments were intricately designed and held deep spiritual meaning, representing the tribes of Israel before God. In <a href="/deuteronomy/22-5.htm">Deuteronomy 22:5</a>, the law prohibits cross-dressing, stating, "A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this." This reflects the importance of maintaining distinct gender roles and identities as ordained by God. New Testament Context In the New Testament, apparel continues to hold symbolic meaning. Jesus, in <a href="/matthew/6-28.htm">Matthew 6:28-29</a>, uses the example of the lilies of the field to teach about God's provision, emphasizing that even Solomon in all his splendor was not dressed like one of these. This passage highlights the futility of anxiety over material needs and the importance of trusting in God's care. The Apostle Paul addresses apparel in the context of modesty and propriety. In <a href="/1_timothy/2-9.htm">1 Timothy 2:9-10</a>, he instructs women to dress modestly and with decency, focusing on good deeds rather than outward adornment. Similarly, <a href="/1_peter/3-3.htm">1 Peter 3:3-4</a> advises women that their beauty should not come from outward adornment but from the inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit. Symbolism and Spiritual Lessons Apparel in the Bible often symbolizes righteousness and salvation. <a href="/isaiah/61-10.htm">Isaiah 61:10</a> declares, "I will rejoice greatly in the LORD; my soul will exult in my God. For He has clothed me with garments of salvation and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness." This imagery is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to "put on the new self" (<a href="/ephesians/4-24.htm">Ephesians 4:24</a>) and to clothe themselves with Christ (<a href="/galatians/3-27.htm">Galatians 3:27</a>). The Book of Revelation also uses apparel symbolically, depicting the saints in white robes, representing purity and victory through the blood of the Lamb (<a href="/revelation/7-14.htm">Revelation 7:14</a>). Cultural and Practical Aspects Apparel in biblical times was not only functional but also a reflection of cultural norms and religious practices. Sackcloth, for instance, was worn as a sign of mourning or repentance (<a href="/jonah/3-5.htm">Jonah 3:5-6</a>). The tearing of garments was a common expression of grief or distress (<a href="/2_samuel/1-11.htm">2 Samuel 1:11</a>). In summary, apparel in the Bible serves as a multifaceted symbol of identity, spiritual truth, and divine provision. It reflects cultural practices and conveys deeper theological meanings, reminding believers of the importance of modesty, righteousness, and reliance on God's provision.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>In Old Testament times the distinction between male and female attire was not very Marked. The statute forbidding men to wear female apparel (<a href="/deuteronomy/22-5.htm">Deuteronomy 22:5</a>) referred especially to ornaments and head-dresses. Both men and women wore (1) an under garment or tunic, which was bound by a girdle. One who had only this tunic on was spoken of as "naked" (<a href="/1_samuel/19-24.htm">1 Samuel 19:24</a>; <a href="/job/24-10.htm">Job 24:10</a>; <a href="/isaiah/20-2.htm">Isaiah 20:2</a>). Those in high stations sometimes wore two tunics, the outer being called the "upper garment" (<a href="/1_samuel/15-27.htm">1 Samuel 15:27</a>; <a href="/1_samuel/18-4.htm">18:4</a>; <a href="/1_samuel/24-5.htm">24:5</a>; <a href="/job/1-20.htm">Job 1:20</a>). (2.) They wore in common an over-garment ("mantle, <a href="/isaiah/3-22.htm">Isaiah 3:22</a>; <a href="/1_kings/19-13.htm">1 Kings 19:13</a>; <a href="/2_kings/2-13.htm">2 Kings 2:13</a>), a loose and flowing robe. The folds of this upper garment could be formed into a lap (<a href="/ruth/3-15.htm">Ruth 3:15</a>; <a href="/psalms/79-12.htm">Psalm 79:12</a>; <a href="/proverbs/17-23.htm">Proverbs 17:23</a>; <a href="/luke/6-38.htm">Luke 6:38</a>). Generals of armies usually wore scarlet robes (<a href="/judges/8-26.htm">Judges 8:26</a>; <a href="/nahum/2-3.htm">Nahum 2:3</a>). A form of conspicuous raiment is mentioned in <a href="/luke/20-46.htm">Luke 20:46</a>; comp. <a href="/matthew/23-5.htm">Matthew 23:5</a>.Priests alone wore trousers. Both men and women wore turbans. Kings and nobles usually had a store of costly garments for festive occasions (<a href="/isaiah/3-22.htm">Isaiah 3:22</a>; <a href="/zechariah/3-4.htm">Zechariah 3:4</a>) and for presents (<a href="/genesis/45-22.htm">Genesis 45:22</a>; <a href="/esther/4-4.htm">Esther 4:4</a>; <a href="/esther/6-8.htm">6:8</a>, 11; <a href="/1_samuel/18-4.htm">1 Samuel 18:4</a>; <a href="/2_kings/5-5.htm">2 Kings 5:5</a>; <a href="/2_kings/10-22.htm">10:22</a>). Prophets and ascetics wore coarse garments (<a href="/isaiah/20-2.htm">Isaiah 20:2</a>; <a href="/zechariah/13-4.htm">Zechariah 13:4</a>; <a href="/matthew/3-4.htm">Matthew 3:4</a>). <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

In <a href="/1_samuel/17-38.htm">1 Samuel 17:38, 39</a> "apparel" replaces "armor" of King James Version: "Saul clad David with his apparel," probably some close-fitting garment worn under the armor, or sometimes without it. Severe judgment was pronounced on Jewish princes who clothed themselves with "strange" (the King James Version), i.e. "with foreign apparel" (Ze 1:8; compare <a href="/isaiah/2-6.htm">Isaiah 2:6-8</a>). "Modest apparel" as against "costly raiment" is commended as suited to Christians (<a href="/1_timothy/2-9.htm">1 Timothy 2:9</a>; himatismos, and katastole).
