A seamless garment, woven in one piece, was rare and considered a sign of quality craftsmanship. Such garments were often more expensive and valued for their durability and aesthetic appeal. In Jewish culture, the high priest's robe was also seamless, symbolizing purity and holiness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>variant reading for <a href="/greek/690.htm">araphos</a>, q.v.<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 729: ἄραφος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἄραφος</span></span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> for <span class="greek2">ἄρραφος</span>, which see <p><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 729: ἄρραφος</span><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἄρραφος</span></span>, <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">ἄραφος</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 48; <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 32 (29); (<span class="manuref">WH</span>s Appendix, p. 163; <span class="manuref">Tdf.</span> Proleg., p. 80; cf.
