kot ´'n ( כּרפס , karpaṣ is the better translation, as in the Revised Version, margin, where the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American) have "green" in Esther 1:6 ): The Hebrew karpaṣ is from the Persian kirpas and the Sanskrit karpāsa , "the cotton plant." The derived words originally meant "muslin" or "calico," but in classical times the use of words allied to karpaṣ ̌ - in Greek and Latin - was extended to include linen. The probability is in favor of "cotton" in Esther 1:6 . This is the product of Gossypium herbaceum , a plant originally from India but now cultivated in many other lands.
