It is used in the context of a designated space for keeping garments, often implying a sense of order and provision.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, clothing was a valuable commodity, often handmade and passed down through generations. A "meltachah" would have been an important part of a household, especially in wealthier homes or in the temple, where priestly garments were stored. The concept of a wardrobe or garment chamber reflects the cultural emphasis on maintaining and preserving clothing, which was a significant aspect of daily life and religious practice.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>probably wardrobe, wearing apparel<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>wardrobe (1).<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מֶלְתָּחָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> apparently <font size="+1"><b>wardrobe, wearing apparel</b></font> (Ethiopic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb054701.gif"> <em>tunic</em>);
