It was a simple piece of clothing, often made of linen or wool, worn next to the skin. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the clothing worn by individuals, often in contexts emphasizing simplicity or humility.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the chitón was a common article of clothing for both men and women. It was usually a sleeveless or short-sleeved garment that reached the knees or ankles. The chitón was often worn under a himation (a larger outer garment) or a cloak. In Jewish culture, the chitón was similar to the Hebrew kethoneth, a garment worn by both the common people and the priests, signifying modesty and purity.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>5509</b> <i>xitṓn</i> – a tunic (under-garment) worn next to the skin. <a href="/greek/5509.htm">5509</a> <i>/xitṓn</i> ("an undershirt, tunic") was worn under a <a href="/greek/2440.htm">2440</a> <i>/himátion</i> ("cloak, robe").</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Semitic origin, cf. <a href="/hebrew/3801.htm">kethoneth</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a tunic<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>clothes (1), coats (1), garment (1), shirt (2), tunic (2), tunics (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5509: χιτών</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">χιτών</span></span>, <span class="greek2">χιτῶνος</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down, the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">כֻּתֹּנֶת</span> and <span class="hebrew">כְּתֹנֶת</span>, <span class="accented">a tunic,</span> an undergarment, usually worn next the skin: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/10-10.htm">Matthew 10:10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/6-9.htm">Mark 6:9</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/3-11.htm">Luke 3:11</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/9-3.htm">Luke 9:3</a>; <a href="/interlinear/jude/1-23.htm">Jude 1:23</a>; it is distinguished from <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">ἱμάτιον</span> (which see 2) or <span class="greek2">τά</span> <span class="greek2">ἱμάτια</span> in <a href="/interlinear/matthew/5-40.htm">Matthew 5:40</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/6-29.htm">Luke 6:29</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/19-23.htm">John 19:23</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/9-39.htm">Acts 9:39</a>; universally, <span class="accented">a garment, vestment</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Aeschylus</span> suppl. 903), plural (<span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, Tib.
