Mantle. The word employed, in the Authorized Version, to translate no less than four Hebrew terms, entirely distinct and independent in both derivation and meaning.

1. Judges 4:18. The garment with which Jael covered Sisera.

2. Rendered "mantle" in 1 Samuel 15:27; 1 Samuel 28:14; Ezra 9:3; Ezra 9:5; etc. This word is, in other passages of the Authorized Version, rendered "coat," "cloak" and "robe."

3. Isaiah 3:22 only. Apparently some article of a lady's dress.

1 Kings 19:13; 1 Kings 19:19; 2 Kings 2:8; 2 Kings 2:13-14. The sole garment of the prophet Elijah. It was probably of sheepskin, such as is worn by the modern dervishes.
