The two Hebrew words translated 'cloth,' beged and simlah, are also translated 'garments,' and do not explain of what it was composed nor how wrought. In Ex. 31: 10, etc., beged is used for 'cloths of service,' and in Num. 4: 6-13 for the 'cloth of blue' that covered up the furniture when the tabernacle was removed. Simlah occurs in Deut. 22: 17; 1 Sam. 21: 9. The THICK CLOTH in 2 Kings 8: 15 is makber. See LINEN.
