sackcloth
A coarse cloth, typically woven from goat or camel hair, used primarily for making sacks or bags for storage and transport of goods, and prominently for garments worn as a symbol of mourning, affliction, and penitence. The cloth is characterized by its rough texture and loose weave, which distinguishes it from finer fabrics. In biblical contexts, שַׂק denotes both an everyday material object (sack, bag) and, in ritual contexts, a distinctive garment marking sorrow, repentance, or distress.
