mantle, cloak
A long, flowing outer garment reaching to the feet; it was generally a loose-fitting cloth that was draped around the body and held in place in the middle by a sash wrapped around the waist or some means of fastening such as pins or buttons; it was worn at all levels of society, including also priests and other religious leaders; it served more purposes than just an outer covering; women sometimes carried bowls or other implements or grain in its folds; for poorer people it also served as a covering when sleeping
ExamplesDeuteronomy 24:13 “When the sun goes down you shall certainly return the pledge to him, so that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you; and it will be righteousness for you before the LORD your God.
Joshua 9:5 and worn-out and patched sandals on their feet, and worn-out clothes on themselves; and all the bread of their provision was dry and had become crumbled.
Joshua 9:13 “And these wineskins which we filled were new, and behold, they are split open; and these clothes of ours and our sandals are worn out from the very long journey.”

- שַׂלְמָה (salmâh, H8008) (שִׂמְלָה) is a common noun meaning "garment, cloak," as in occurrences glossed "a garment"/"the cloak."
