In the context of the Bible, it is frequently used to describe garments worn by priests, royalty, and the wealthy, symbolizing purity and holiness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel and surrounding cultures, linen was a valuable textile made from the fibers of the flax plant. The process of making linen involved several steps, including harvesting, retting, and weaving, which made it a labor-intensive and costly fabric. Fine linen, or "buts," was particularly prized for its softness, durability, and bright white appearance. It was often used in religious and royal contexts, signifying status and sanctity.<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>byssus<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fine linen (5), fine...linen (1), linen (2).<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">בּוּץ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">בֻּץ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>byssus</b></font> (late), (Phoenician <font class="hebrew2">בוץ</font>, Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">בּוּץ</font>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb010108.gif">; √ dubious; Birch, Wilkinson<sup>Egyptians ii. 158 f.</sup> from Egyptian <i><em>hbos,</em></i>, <em>clothe</em>; see Say.
