- goats' hair:
- Izzim, goats, but used here elliptically for goats' hair. In different parts of Asia Minor, Syria, Cilicia, and Phrygia, the goats have long, fine, and beautiful hair; in some cases, almost as fine as silk, which is shorn at proper times, and manufactured into garments. "And blue,ª and purple,ª and scarlet,ªª and fine linen,ª and goats'ª [hair]," {Exd 25:4} + "And blue,ª and purple,ª and scarlet,ªª and fine linen,ª and goats'ª [hair]," {Exd 35:6} + "And every¹ man,ª with¹ whom¹ was foundª° blue,ª and purple,ª and scarlet,ªª and fine linen,ª and goats'ª [hair], and redª° skinsª of rams,ª and badgers'ª skins,ª broughtª° [them]." {Exd 35:23} + "And purifyª° all¹ [your] raiment,ª and all¹ that is madeª of skins,ª and all¹ workª of goats'ª [hair], and all¹ things¹ made² of wood.ª" {Num 31:20}
