1 change of raiment שׂמלת׳ח Genesis 45:22 (twice in verse), elsewhere בגדים׳ח Judges 14:12,13; 2 Kings 5:5,22,23; so without בגדים Judges 14:19.
2 relays 1 Kings 5:28; compare וצבא׳ח Job 10:17 (Di).
3 revival after death, under figure of relief from military service Job 14:14.
4 changing, varying, of course of life אֲשֶׁר אֵין חֲלִיפוֺת לָ֑מוֺ Psalm 55:20 of the wicked, with whom are no changings, i.e. they do evil incessantly, steadily ("" ולא יָרְאוּ אלהים) so Kmp Hu De Sch and others; but the expression is peculiar and obscure; Calv vicissitudes; Hengst discharges; text perhaps corrupt.
חֲלִיפָה f. (from the root חָלַף) change. 2 Kings 5:5, עֶשֶׂר חֲלִיפוֹת בְּגָדִים “ten changes of raiment,” that is, ten sets of garments, so that the whole might be changed ten times. -2 Ki. 5:2223 ; Judges 14:12, 13 Judges 14:13; Genesis 45:22 also without בְּגָדִים Judges 14:19. Specially used of soldiers keeping guard by turns, whence metaph. Job 14:14, “all the days of my warfare I will wait עַד־בּוֹא חֲלִיפָתִי until others take my place,” (lit. till my exchanging come:) the miserable condition in Orcus being compared to the hardships of a soldier on watch. [I know not whence this strange piece of theology originated; certainly such ideas form no part of God’s revealed truth.] Elsewhere used of a fresh band succeeding in the stead of those who are wearied; Job 10:17, חֲלִיפוֹת וְצָבָא עִמִּי by ἓν διὰ δυοῖν: “changes and hosts are against me,” i.e. hosts fight against me continuously succeeding one another. Used also of similar changes of workmen, 1 Ki. 5:28, adv. “in alternate courses.”
