This act is deeply rooted in the cultural and religious practices of the ancient Near East and is frequently mentioned throughout the Scriptures. Old Testament Context The practice of rending garments is first seen in the Old Testament. It is a physical manifestation of deep emotional distress or spiritual anguish. For instance, in <a href="/genesis/37-29.htm">Genesis 37:29</a>, when Reuben discovers that Joseph is missing, he "tore his clothes" in despair. Similarly, Jacob, upon believing that Joseph had been devoured by a wild animal, "tore his clothes, put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days" (<a href="/genesis/37-34.htm">Genesis 37:34</a>). In the context of repentance and seeking God's mercy, the act of rending garments is often accompanied by fasting and prayer. <a href="/joel/2-13.htm">Joel 2:13</a> exhorts the people to "rend your hearts and not your garments," emphasizing that true repentance is a matter of the heart rather than mere external displays. The tearing of garments also signifies righteous indignation or horror at blasphemy or sacrilege. In <a href="/2_kings/18-37.htm">2 Kings 18:37</a>, Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah rent their clothes upon hearing the blasphemous words of the Assyrian Rabshakeh. Similarly, in <a href="/2_kings/22-11.htm">2 Kings 22:11</a>, King Josiah tore his clothes upon hearing the words of the Book of the Law, realizing the extent of Judah's disobedience to God. New Testament Context In the New Testament, the act of rending garments continues to hold symbolic significance. In <a href="/matthew/26-65.htm">Matthew 26:65</a>, the high priest tore his clothes in response to what he perceived as blasphemy when Jesus affirmed His identity as the Son of God. This act was meant to express outrage and to signify the gravity of the perceived offense. The New Testament also uses the concept of "rent" metaphorically. In <a href="/mark/15-38.htm">Mark 15:38</a>, at the moment of Jesus' death, "the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom." This event symbolizes the removal of the barrier between God and humanity, granting believers direct access to the presence of God through the atoning work of Christ. Cultural and Religious Significance The act of rending garments in biblical times was a culturally understood expression of intense emotion. It was a public demonstration of one's inner turmoil, whether due to personal loss, national calamity, or spiritual conviction. The practice underscored the seriousness of the situation and often accompanied other acts of mourning or repentance, such as wearing sackcloth and ashes. While the physical act of tearing one's clothes is less common in contemporary Christian practice, the underlying principles of heartfelt repentance, mourning over sin, and righteous indignation remain relevant. The biblical exhortation to "rend your hearts and not your garments" (<a href="/joel/2-13.htm">Joel 2:13</a>) continues to call believers to genuine, heartfelt devotion and repentance before God.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>(<a href="/isaiah/3-24.htm">Isaiah 3:24</a>), probably a rope, as rendered in the LXX. and Vulgate and Revised Version, or as some prefer interpreting the phrase, "girdle and robe are torn [i.e., are `a rent'] by the hand of violence." <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
