<p> ''''' man´t ''''' ' ''''' l ''''' (the King James Version [[Babylonish]] [[Garment]] ): One of the articles taken by [[Achan]] from the spoil of [[Jericho]] (&nbsp;Joshua 7:21 ). In the [[Hebrew]] "a mantle of Shinar." Entirely gratuitous is the suggested correction of [[Shinar]] to <i> ''''' sē‛ār ''''' </i> , making "a hairy mantle." The Greek has <i> ''''' psilḗn poikı́lēn ''''' </i> , which [[Josephus]] apparently understood to mean "a royal garment all woven out of gold" ( <i> Ant. </i> , V, i, 10). The [[Vulgate]] (Jerome's <i> Latin Bible </i> , 390-405 ad) calls it a "scarlet pallium," and some of the rabbinical traditions make it a purple robe. Such classical writers as Pliny and [[Martial]] speak of the weaving of embroidered stuffs as a famous industry of Babylonia. Many tablets that have been deciphered indicate that the industry was indeed widely extended, that its costly products were of great variety and that some of them were exported to distant markets; in fine, that the account in Joshua is characterized by great verisimilitude. </p>
