It is used in the context of clothing that is wrapped or spread over the body, often for warmth or modesty. In the biblical narrative, it can denote a piece of clothing that serves both practical and symbolic purposes.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, clothing was not only a necessity for protection against the elements but also a symbol of one's social status and identity. A "mitpachath" would have been a common garment, used by both men and women, and could be made from various materials depending on the wearer's wealth and status. The act of spreading or wrapping a garment could also carry connotations of care, protection, or authority.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2946.htm">taphach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a cloak<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cloak (1), cloaks (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">מִטְמַּ֫חַת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>cloak</b></font>, absolute <font class="hebrew2">הַמִּטְמַּחַת אֲשֶׁרֿ</font> <font class="hebrew2">עָלַיִךְ</font> <a href="/interlinear/ruth/3-15.htm">Ruth 3:15</a>;
