Contextual Overview
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
coverings: Proverbs 7:16
clothing: Genesis 41:42, *marg. Esther 5:1, Esther 8:15, Psalms 45:13, Psalms 45:14, Ezekiel 16:10-13, 1 Peter 3:3
silk: Shesh, rather fine linen, or cotton. (See note on Exodus 39:27.) Sadin, rendered "fine linen," Proverbs 31:24, is probably the same as the Arabic sidn, and sudl, a veil, or an inner covering of fine muslin.
Reciprocal: 1 Timothy 2:9 - not
Cross-References
He set three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
and said to them, "I see the expression on your father's face, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.
He said, 'Now lift up your eyes, and behold, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does to you.
I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get out from this land, and return to the land of your birth."
Jacob answered Laban, "Because I was afraid, for I said, 'Lest you should take your daughters from me by force.'
Gill's Notes on the Bible
She maketh herself coverings of tapestry,.... For the furniture and ornament of her house, or for her bed; which may signify the ordinances of the Gospel, and the decent, orderly, and beautiful administration of them, wherein the church has communion with her Lord; see Song of Solomon 1:16. The Vulgate Latin version renders it, "garments of divers colours", such as was Joseph's coat, Genesis 37:3; and, in a spiritual sense, may be applied to the above mentioned garments, and agrees with what goes before and follows;
her clothing [is] silk and purple; the Tyrian purple, which, Strabo says x, is the best; or purple silk, silk of a purple colour: or rather fine linen of this colour; a dress suitable to a queen, as the church is, who is represented as clothed with clothing of wrought gold, with raiment of needlework, Psalms 45:9; see Ezekiel 16:10. This is not her own natural clothing, for she has none by nature that deserves the name; nor of her own working, not works of righteousness done by her; nor of her own putting on, but what Christ has wrought out for her, and clothes her with; and which is very rich in itself, the best robe, very ornamental to her; her wedding garment, and which will last for ever; see Isaiah 61:10.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Silk - Better, fine linen, the byssus of Egypt.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 31:22. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry —
13. She is not regardless either of her own person, or of the decent, proper appearance of her presses and wardrobe. She has coverings or carpeting for her guests to sit upon; she has also tapestry, מרבדים marbaddim, either tapestry, carpeting, or quilted work for her beds; and her own clothing is שש shesh, flne flax, or linen cloth, and purple; probably for a cloak or mantle. The fine linen or cotton cloth of Egypt is probably intended. I have often seen it wrapping the bodies of mummies; it is something like our coarse calico. The purple was supposed to have been dyed by a precious liquor obtained from the pinna magna, a large shellfish, of the muscle kind, found on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. I have seen some of them nearly two feet in length. But it is a doubt whether any such liquor was ever obtained from this or any other fish; and the story itself is invented merely to hide the secret, the proper method of dying purple; which was kept so well that it certainly died with the ancients.
