SIBI-P1 H3847-21

to wrap oneself in a garment

Rootלבש (l-b-sh)
Core Meaningsto wrap around, to clothe, to put on, to be clothed, to array
Semantic Rangeto put on clothing, to wear, to clothe oneself, to clothe another, to be arrayed, to be enveloped (figuratively with qualities such as righteousness, strength, or shame)
Conceptual SignificanceClothing in the Hebrew Bible signifies identity, status, preparation, and spiritual condition. The act of ‘wrapping oneself’ can describe both literal dressing and figurative investiture with divine qualities, authority, or moral character.
Morphological NotesQal infinitive construct (Vqc) with prefixed preposition ל (“to”). The Qal stem expresses the simple, active action of clothing or wrapping oneself or another.
Rendering RationaleThe root לבש fundamentally conveys the act of wrapping or clothing oneself. The Qal infinitive construct with prefixed ל expresses purpose or action (“to …”), and in the simple stem it denotes the basic act of putting on clothing, here rendered to preserve the reflexive sense inherent in the verb’s common usage.
