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. Jud 4:18 the garment with which Jael covered Sisera.
        2. Rendered "mantle" in 1Sa 15:27; 28:14; Ezr 9:3,5 etc. This word is in other passages of the Authorized Version rendered "coat," "cloak" and "robe."
        3. Isa 3:22 only. Apparently some article of a lady's dress.
        4. 1Ki 19:13,19; 2Ki 2:8,13,14 The sole garment of the prophet Elijah. It was probably of sheepskin, such as is worn by the modern dervishes.
