עוֹר

Animal skins tanned and prepared for human use. Elijah the prophet was recognized by his garment of haircloth and leather belt or girdle (2 Kings 1:8 ). The similar dress of John the Baptist marked him as a prophet (Matthew 3:4; Mark 1:6 ). Leather shoes are one of the gifts that symbolize God's lavish care for His beloved bride Jerusalem (Ezekiel 16:10 ). See Goatskin; Skins.
