Gen_49:11 (a) By this type the Holy Spirit is informing us of the wonderful and rich blessing which Judah would enjoy from GOD. His vines would produce so abundantly that he could use the wine for every purpose; figuratively he could use it for laundry purposes. This is just a picture of the great abundance which GOD would give to this wonderful man.

Psa_69:11 (c) These are the prophetic words of our Lord in which He stated that from head to foot He was covered with grief and sorrow because of our sin and iniquity.

Psa_73:6 (c) This refers to the fact that evil and hostile actions against the things of GOD completely envelop the one who does them, as a robe covers the entire body.

Psa_102:26 (a) By this type our Lord is describing the eventual destruction of this physical earth, as well as the heavens. He will discard them, He will destroy them, and will not try to mend them. (See also Heb_1:11; Isa_50:9; Isa_51:6, Isa_51:8).

Psa_104:2 (a) By this picture we see the complete envelopment of the Lord in light effulgent. The Saviour was covered with this light on the Mount of Transfiguration.

Psa_109:18 (a) This is a description of Judas Iscariot. The cursing was not with oaths but rather it was his curse upon CHRIST, wherein he consigned the Lord JESUS to the wrath of His enemies, and wished for His destruction. He did it with his whole person. From his feet which carried him to the garden to the lips which kissed the Saviour, his whole person was involved in his wicked action.

Pro_30:4 (a) This type represents the boundaries of the ocean or the lakes or the rivers whereby GOD controls the extent of their influence and their power.

Ecc_9:8 (c) This word typifies the religious profession and confession which are made by Christians before the world. They are to live lives that are unspotted, unstained and unreproachable.

Isa_59:6 (a) The Lord uses this term in regard to the efforts made by men to weave their own garments to cover their own nakedness. All men's efforts to protect themselves from the gaze of GOD's righteousness will be unavailing. All such man-made righteousnesses are of no avail.

Isa_59:17 (a) This figure represents the anger of GOD against a disobedient people. His whole being is aroused to take vengeance on those who know not GOD, and obey not His Gospel.

Isa_61:3 (a) In this beautiful way the Lord describes the radiance, the happiness and the sweetness that fills the heart and the life of the child of GOD who loves the things of GOD, and lives for the glory of GOD.

Isa_61:10 (a) That eternal life which GOD gives to us whereby He makes us His child is a complete covering for the Christian. All of his own natural person is covered by the Lord JESUS CHRIST so that we are found "in Him," not having our own righteousness, but the righteousness of GOD which is by faith of JESUS CHRIST. We read that this righteousness "is for all, and upon all them that believe." In this way it is compared to a garment.

Eze_16:18 (a) This word undoubtedly refers to the grandeur, the glory, and the beauty that GOD gave to the nation of Israel when they flourished so wonderfully under previous leaders. They took these riches and gave them to their enemies as they joined up with their neighbors in their wicked practices.

Zec_3:3 (a) We think that Joshua in this verse is a type of the nation of Israel and that the garments are a type of the wicked ways, actions and deeds of these people. He stood before the Lord of Heaven who took pity upon him, removed the filthy garments and gave him heavenly robes. This is probably a picture of the redemption of Israel when GOD again works on and in this great people to make them a holy and righteous people when they accept the Messiah.

Mat_9:16 (b) This represents the old nature of the unsaved man. The Lord does not patch the old nature and try to make it better. He gives a new nature that needs no patching.

Mat_22:11 (b) The type in this Scripture represents the covering of imputed righteousness which the King of Heaven, GOD the Father, gives to everyone who trusts His Son, the Lord JESUS. This man would not have GOD's robe. He came into the presence of the King wearing his own robe, which is a figure of human, self-made righteousness. The King rejected him because of his refusal to lay aside his own self-made righteousness and receive the righteousness which is GOD's gift. (See Rom_5:17; Rom_10:2-3).

Jam_5:2 (b) The type in this Scripture refers to the evanescent and transient character of the position and power which riches give in this life. These rapidly disintegrate as the trials of this earth and the disappointments of life eat them away.

Jud_1:23 (b) This garment refers to the righteousness which must be worn in the presence of GOD. It must be entirely from Heaven, and not be tainted in any way by human works, merits, or activities.

Rev_3:4 (a) This is a type of the profession, confession and public life of certain Christians in Sardis. They kept themselves clean, upright, honest and undefiled in their daily lives. (See Rev_16:15).

Garment
(represented by several Heb. and Greek words) [SEE APPAREL; SEE CLOTHING: DRESS; SEE RAIMENT; SEE VESTURE, etc.]. For a list of modern Arabic garments, see Thomson, Land and Book, 1:167 sq. In 2Ki_11:13, it is said, "Then they hasted and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehue is king." Here they laid down their garments instead of carpets. The usse of carpets was common in the East in the remoter ages. The kings of Persia always walked upon carpets in their palaces. Xenophon reproaches the degenerate Persians of his time that they placed their couches upon carpets, to repose more at their ease. The spreading of garments in the street before persons to whom it was intended to show particular honor was an ancient and very general custom. Thus the people spread their garments in the way before our Saviour (Mat_21:8), where some also strewed branches. In the Agamemnon of Aschylus, the hypocritical Clytemnestra commands the maids to spread out carpets before her returning husband, that, on descending from his chariot, be may place his foot "on a purple-covered path." We also find this custom among the Romans. When Cato of Utica left the Macedonian army, where he had become legionary tribune, the soldiers spread their clothes in the way. The hanging out of carpets, and strewing of flowers and branches in modern times, are remnants of ancient customs. SEE RENDING; SEE SEWING.
A number of sumptuous and magnificent habits was, in ancient times, regarded as an indispensable part of the treasures of a rich man. Thus the patriarch Job, speaking of the riches of the wicked, says, "Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay" (Job_27:16). Joseph gave his brethren changes of raiment, but to Benjamin he gave "three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment” (Gen_45:22). Naaman carried for a present to the prophet Elisha ten changes of raiment (2Ki_5:5). In allusion to this custom, our Lord, when describing the short duration and perishings nature of earthly treasures, represents them as subject to the depredations of the moth, from which the inhabitants of the East find it exceedingly difficult to preserve their stores of garments: I "Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust Adoth corrupt" (Mat_6:19). Paul, when appealing to the integrity and fidelity with which he had discharged his sacred office, mentions apparel with other treasures: he says, "I have coveted no man's gold, or silver, or apparel" (Act_20:33). The apostle James likewise (as do the Greek and Roman writers, when they particularize the opulence of those times) specifies gold, silver, and garments as the constituents of riches: "Go to now, ye rich men; weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments moth- eaten" (Jam_5:1-2). We find that the custom of hoarding up splendid dresses still exists in Psalestine and the East. It appears that even Solomon received raitent as presents (2Ch_9:24). Asiatic princes and grandees keep changes of raiment ready made, for presents to persons of distinction whom they wish particularly to honor. The simple and uniform shape of the clothes makes this custom practicable and accounts also for the change of one person's dress for another's, which is mentioned in sacred history. This will perhaps, apply to the parable of the wedding garment, and to the behavior of the king, who expected to have found all his guests clad in robes of honor (Gen_27:15; Deu_22:5; 1Sa_18:4; 2Ki_5:5; 2Ki_5:22; Mat_22:11; Luk_15:22). The "changeable suits of apparel" in Isa_3:22, should be properly "embroidered robes." SEE BANQUET, etc.
Women were forbidden to wear male garments, and the reverse (Deu_22:5; see Mill, De commutatione vestium utriusq. sexus, Utr. s.a.). On heterogeneous garments, SEE DIVERSE.
