- Hebrew פָּשַׁט and Greek ἐκδύω share the core sense of removing or stripping off clothing, with both lexemes used for divesting garments; the Hebrew term has broader semantic range including military invasion and spreading, while the Greek term is more specialized to the clothing domain, but their overlap in garment-removal contexts constitutes genuine translation equivalence.
