The word so rendered is elsewhere rendered " robe" or " mantle." It was worn by the high priest under the ephod ( Ex. 28: 31), by kings and others of rank ( 1 Sam. 15: 27; Job 1: 20; 2: 12), and by women ( 2 Sam. 13: 18). The word translated " cloke", i. e., outer garment, in Matt. 5: 40 is in its plural form used of garments in general ( Matt. 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 ( Ex. 22: 26, 27), but the coat or tunic ( Gr. chiton) mentioned in Matt. 5: 40 could not. The cloak which Paul " left at Troas" ( 2 Tim. 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. ( See { Dress}.)
