<p> ''''' klōthz ''''' , (קריעת בּגדים , <i> ''''' kerı̄‛ath beghādhı̄m ''''' </i> ): This term is used to describe an ordinary tear made in a garment.

Rending Of Clothes [1]

To rend or tear the garments was from the earliest period an action expressive of the highest grief ( Genesis 37:29). Jacob and David did it on various occasions; and so did Joshua, Hezekiah, and Ezra ( 2 Samuel 13:31;  Joshua 7:6;  2 Kings 19:1;  Ezra 9:3). The high-priest was forbidden to rend his clothes ( Leviticus 10:6;  Leviticus 21:10), prob. ably meaning his sacred garments: perhaps those referred to in  Matthew 26:65, were such as were ordinarily worn, or merely judicial, and not pontificial garments. Sometimes it denoted anger, or indignation mingled with sorrow ( Isaiah 36:22;  Isaiah 37:1;  Acts 14:14). (See Rending).
