From Morrish: Cloth.
The two Hebrew words translated 'cloth,' beged and simlah, are also translated 'garments,' and do not explain of what it was composed nor how wrought. In Exodus 31:10, etc., beged is used for 'cloths of service,' and in Numbers 4:6-13 for the 'cloth of blue' that covered up the furniture when the tabernacle was removed. Simlah occurs in Deuteronomy 22:17; 1 Samuel 21:91 Samuel 21:9. The THICK CLOTH in 2 Kings 8:15 is makber. See LINEN.
