Linen was commonly used in the ancient world for clothing, especially garments of high quality and purity. In biblical contexts, linen often symbolizes purity and righteousness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Linen was a highly valued textile in ancient times, known for its durability and fine quality. It was used for making garments, including those worn by priests and the wealthy. The process of making linen involved harvesting flax, retting, and spinning the fibers into thread, which was then woven into cloth. Linen's association with purity and holiness is evident in its use in religious contexts, such as the garments of the Jewish priests and the tabernacle's furnishings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>flax, linen<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>linen (1), wick (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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3043: λίνον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">λίνον</span></span> (<span class="manuref">Treg.</span> <span class="greek2">λίνον</span> (so <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> in Matt. as below), incorrectly, for the iota <span class="greek2">ἰ</span> is short; (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Lipsius</span>, Gramm.
