Strong's Lexicon karbela: Cloak, Mantle Original Word: כַּרְבְּלָא Word Origin: Derived from an Aramaic root, possibly related to Akkadian or other Semitic languages, indicating a type of garment. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of a cloak or outer garment can be related to Greek terms such as ἱμάτιον (himation - Strong's Greek 2440), which also refers to a cloak or outer garment. Usage: The term "karbela" refers to a type of outer garment or cloak. It is used in the context of clothing, often indicating a specific style or type of mantle worn during the time of the Babylonian exile. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, clothing was not only functional but also a symbol of status and identity. The "karbela" would have been a significant garment, possibly indicating a person's social standing or role. During the Babylonian exile, Jewish people would have been exposed to various cultural influences, including styles of dress. The "karbela" reflects this blend of cultural elements.
