𐤁𐤂𐤃𐤉𐤌
beged
of clothes
A garment or article of clothing worn to cover the body; extends to mean raiment, apparel, or vesture in general. In metaphorical or abstract contexts, beged refers to clothing as a symbol of status, identity, or moral condition. In a small number of passages, especially in poetical or prophetic texts, beged may also convey a sense of unfaithfulness or treachery (drawing on association with the root), but this is rare and context-dependent.

garments
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, masculine, plural, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בֶּגֶד derives from the root בגד, associated with covering and secondarily with treachery. In its masculine plural absolute form, בְּגָדִים denotes multiple articles of clothing—thus "garments" preserves both the concrete sense of coverings and the plural morphology. |
