2. in Biblical Greek twice, a garment let down, dress, attire: 1Ti 2:9, Vulg.habitus, which the translator, according to later Latin usage, seems to understand of clothing (cf. the Frenchl’habit); (cf. Josephus, b. j. 2, 8, 4); for îÇòÂèÆä, Isa 61:3, with which in mind Hesychius says καταστολήν. περιβολήν (cf. Winer’s Grammar, 23, but especially Ellicott on 1 Timothy, the passage cited).
