  Mantle,  
<< Manslayer,      Maoch >>

the word employed in the Authorized Version to translate no less than four Hebrew terms, entirely distinct and independent in both derivation and meaning.
  1. ( Judges 4:18 ) the garment with which Jael covered Sisera.
  2. Rendered "mantle" in ( 1 Samuel 15:27 ; 28:14 ; Ezra 9:3 Ezra 9:5 ) etc. This word is in other passages of the Authorized Version rendered "coat," "cloak" and "robe."
  3. ( Isaiah 3:22 ) only. Apparently some article of a ladys dress.
  4. ( 1 Kings 19:13 1 Kings 19:19 ; 2 Kings 2:8 2 Kings 2:13 2 Kings 2:14 ) The sole garment of the prophet Elijah. It was probably of sheepskin, such as is worn by the modern dervishes.
