and a coarse-mesh sackcloth
| Root | שׂקק (ś-q-q) |
| Core Meanings | mesh, coarse weaving, porous cloth, sacking |
| Semantic Range | coarse cloth, sackcloth worn in mourning, a sack or bag for grain or goods, garment of humiliation |
| Conceptual Significance | שַׂק is closely associated with mourning, repentance, fasting, and public humiliation in the Hebrew Bible. Wearing sackcloth symbolized grief, contrition, and submission before God, embodying outwardly the inner posture of affliction and humility. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ (and) + noun common masculine singular absolute (שַׂק). The form is singular and indefinite, with no pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שַׂק denotes a coarse, loosely woven material originally characterized by its mesh-like texture. Rendering it as "coarse-mesh sackcloth" preserves the root sense of porous weaving while reflecting the masculine singular absolute form; the prefixed וְ is rendered as "and." |
