The authentic garments of the bible

Almost all ancient Israelites wore two basic items of clothing: an undergarment and an overgarment. The light bottom layer was a tunic known in Hebrew as a
kutonet (כתנת ). The Bible says that Jacob raised the ire of his sons by making Joseph a kutonet pasim (Gen. 37:3). Four hundred years ago, the King James Version of the Bible translated this as “a coat of many colors,”, but really, it is quite a bad translation of the original Hebrew. The garment is not a coat, but a linen tunic. It is striped, not multicolored.

Moses – A Master of Words
Above the tunic, a heavier outer layer was worn. This cloak or mantle is known in Hebrew as a mitpachat (מטפחת ). This word comes from the verb “to spread out” (טפח ) because often this garment could also be unfolded to serve as a blanket or a sack. In one of the most famous love stories in the Bible, Boaz tells Ruth: “bring the cloak you are wearing and hold it out.” He then fills the open cloak with “six measures of barley, and put it on her back” (Ruth 3:15)
Return to the true roots of scripture
The Bible contains a great deal of information about typical details of daily life, such as clothing. But you have to know how to read the Bible correctly to understand this information.

Once you set aside the modern translation you are used to, you will discover the real world of the Bible teeming with authenticity.

There is no iota of doubt, irrespective of political differences, that Governor Godwin Obaseki has significantly improved State Competence, relative to his predecessors and across the States in the Country.  To achieve this, he had to rescue the State from private capture by ruthless non-State actors; this freed up public resources for public purposes.  He has held himself to a very high ethical and work-ethics standards, scrupulously focusing on the interests of the real people whilst staying on the Constitutional tracks in line with his oath of office. As a result, it was difficult to derail or defeat him despite uncountable battles in the judiciary and in other political machinations, orchestrated from high quarters.  Edo State is not yet on the mountain top, it still needs concerted push to avoid a free relapse or rollback.  The quality, intensity, ruggedness, doggedness and character of the next Governor is therefore so crucial that those lining up for the job should critically as
