The Hebrew word often translated as "skirt" is "kanaf," which can also mean "wing" or "corner." This term appears in various contexts throughout the Bible, illustrating both literal and metaphorical uses.<br><br><b>Symbol of Authority and Protection</b><br><br>The skirt or hem of a garment was often associated with authority and protection. In <a href="/1_samuel/24-4.htm">1 Samuel 24:4-5</a>, David secretly cuts off the corner of Saul's robe, symbolizing his potential to usurp Saul's authority. The act troubled David's conscience, indicating the deep respect and significance attached to the garment's hem: "Afterward, David’s conscience was stricken because he had cut off the corner of Saul’s robe" (<a href="/1_samuel/24-5.htm">1 Samuel 24:5</a>).<br><br><b>Covenantal Imagery</b><br><br>The skirt also appears in covenantal imagery, representing God's relationship with His people. In <a href="/ezekiel/16-8.htm">Ezekiel 16:8</a>, God describes His covenant with Israel using the metaphor of spreading His garment over her: "Then I passed by and saw you, and you were indeed old enough for love. So I spread the corner of My garment over you and covered your nakedness. I pledged Myself to you, entered into a covenant with you, declares the Lord GOD, and you became Mine" (<a href="/ezekiel/16-8.htm">Ezekiel 16:8</a>). This act signifies protection, commitment, and the establishment of a covenant relationship.<br><br><b>Healing and Faith</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the hem of a garment is associated with healing and faith. In <a href="/matthew/9-20.htm">Matthew 9:20-22</a>, a woman suffering from a bleeding disorder touches the fringe of Jesus' cloak, believing it will heal her: "Just then a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak. She said to herself, 'If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.' Jesus turned and saw her. 'Take courage, daughter,' He said, 'your faith has healed you.' And the woman was cured from that very hour" (<a href="/matthew/9-20.htm">Matthew 9:20-22</a>). This passage highlights the power of faith and the significance of the garment's fringe as a point of contact for divine healing.<br><br><b>Modesty and Distinction</b><br><br>The skirt or hem of a garment also played a role in distinguishing the Israelites from other nations. In <a href="/numbers/15-38.htm">Numbers 15:38-39</a>, God commands the Israelites to make tassels on the corners of their garments as a reminder of His commandments: "Speak to the Israelites and tell them to make tassels for the corners of their garments throughout their generations. And put a blue cord on the tassel at each corner. You will have these tassels to look at so that you will remember all the commandments of the LORD, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by following your own hearts and eyes" (<a href="/numbers/15-38.htm">Numbers 15:38-39</a>). This practice served as a visual reminder of their covenant with God and their call to holiness.<br><br><b>Judgment and Shame</b><br><br>Conversely, the removal or uncovering of a skirt could symbolize judgment and shame. In <a href="/lamentations/1-8.htm">Lamentations 1:8-9</a>, Jerusalem's sin is depicted as her nakedness being exposed: "Jerusalem has sinned greatly; therefore she has become an object of scorn. All who honored her now despise her, for they have seen her nakedness. She herself groans and turns away. Her uncleanness clings to her skirts; she did not consider her end. Her downfall was astounding; there was no one to comfort her" (<a href="/lamentations/1-8.htm">Lamentations 1:8-9</a>). This imagery conveys the disgrace and vulnerability resulting from sin and disobedience.<br><br>In summary, the concept of the skirt in the Bible encompasses themes of authority, covenant, faith, modesty, and judgment. Its various uses throughout Scripture reflect the cultural and spiritual significance of garments in the biblical narrative.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
