Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


Apron. Luk_19:20; Joh_11:44; Joh_20:7; Act_19:12. This term was used in much the same manner, and having much the same significance as at the present.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


ā?prun: Appears only in Gen_3:7 and Act_19:12 English Versions. (English na-prun, North of England nap-peon, from Low Latin, through French nape, nappe, ?napkin.? The ?n? was dropped owing to false division of the article a from the noun; thus ?a napron? became ?an apron:? In Gen_3:7 it is used to translate a Hebrew word rendered ?girdles? in Revised Version margin: ?And they sewed fig-leaves together and made themselves aprons.? In Act_19:12 σιμικίνθια, simikı́nthia, stands for semicinctia, which is really a Latin word meaning ?half-girdle,? i.e. girdles going only half round the body and covering the front of the person: ?Unto the sick were carried away from his (Paul's) body handkerchiefs (soudária, rendered ?napkins? Luk_19:20; Joh_11:44; Joh_20:7) or aprons.? The word denotes here, probably, a workman's apron, perhaps those of Paul himself; though it seems more natural to suppose that the people brought their own ?handkerchiefs? or ?aprons? to Paul to secure the miraculous effect desired. The garments, at any rate, were such as could be easily removed and carried back and forth. (See Rich, Dict. of Roman and Greek Ant, under the word, for illust.; also Pope's Lexicon, under the word).

Gen_3:7 (c) The fig leaves used by Adam and Eve are called aprons which cover only a part of the body, and are not sufficient for a complete covering. The fig leaf is soft like velvet, and under the heat of the sun shrinks to about one-forth of the original size. These leaves are a type of self-righteousness. After Adam and Eve made the fig leaf aprons they still hid from GOD knowing that they were still naked in His sight. No amount of self-righteous religion, church attendance, giving of money, or religious acts is sufficient to hide the sins of the heart from the face of GOD.

Apron
stands in one passage of the Auth. Vers. for the Heb. חֲגוֹרָה (chagorah', a girdle, as usually), the fig-leaf bands which our first parents made to hide their shame (Gen_3:7); also for the Greek σιμικίνθιον (Act_19:12), a term borrowed from the Lat. semicinctium, i.e. half-girdle or belt covering half the person, an article of apparel worn by artisans and servants. SEE ATTIRE. SEE NAPKIN.
Apse or Apsis
(ἀψίς, Lat. absis, prob. for ἃψις, a juncture or vaulted arch), is a term used by ecclesiastical writers to designate
1. that part of the interior of ancient churches where the bishop and clergy had their seats. The form of the apsis was hemispherical, and it consisted of two parts: one, the choir or presbytery; the other, the sanctuary. The choir always terminated toward the east in a semicircle, round which were the seats of the clergy, having in the middle the throne of the bishop or superior, which was raised above the others. The term came into use in the 8th century to denote the deepest recess behind the altar in the Eastern Churches.
2. It was also commonly used for the bishop's throne, called apsis gradata, being raised by means of steps.
3. The word at other times denotes the case in which the relics of saints were kept, which was round or arched at the top, and commonly placed on the altar: it was usually of wood, sometimes also of gold and silver, and occasionally beautifully sculptured.
4. In later church architecture, it is used to denote any semicircular or polygonal termination of the choir, or other portion of a church. — Bingham, Orig. Eccl. bk. 8, ch. 3; Lenoir, Architect. Monast. (Paris, 1852).
