Nave's Topical Bible
Cloak
Cloak: An upper garment, "an exterior tunic, wide and long, reaching to the ankles, but without sleeves" (Isaiah 59:17) The word so rendered is elsewhere rendered "robe" or "mantle." It was worn by the high priest under the ephod (Exodus 28:31) by kings and others of rank (1 Samuel 15:27) (Job 1:20; 2:12) and by women (2 Samuel 13:18) The word translated "cloke", i.e., outer garment, in (Matthew 5:40) is in its plural form used of garments in general (Matthew 17:2; 26:65) The cloak mentioned here and in (Luke 6:29) was the Greek himation, Latin pallium, and consisted of a large square piece of wollen cloth fastened round the shoulders, like the abba of the Arabs. This could be taken by a creditor (Exodus 22:26,27) but the coat or tunic (Gr. chiton) mentioned in (Matthew 5:40) could not. The cloak which Paul "left at Troas" (2 Timothy 4:13) was the Roman paenula, a thick upper garment used chiefly in travelling as a protection from the weather. Some, however, have supposed that what Paul meant was a travelling-bag. In the Syriac version the word used means a bookcase.
