Frock . In the Greek text of Sir 40:4 the poor man’s dress is said to be of unbleached linen, paraphrased in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] as ‘a linen’ and in RV [Note: Revised Version.] as ‘a hempen frock.’ The Hebrew original has, ‘he that wraps himself in a mantle of hair’ (Smend), for which see Dress, § 4 ( c ).

frok ( שׂמלה , simlāh ; ὡμόλινον , hōmólinon ): The hempen frock, mentioned in Ecclesiasticus 40:4 as a mark of the lowly, was a simple garment consisting of a square piece of cloth wrapped around the body. It is the same as the garment ( simlāh ) which we find the poor man using as his only bed covering by night ( Exodus 22:26 f); the traveler, as the receptacle for his belongings (compare Exodus 12:34 ); and the common people of both sexes as their general outer garments, though there was some difference in appearance between the simlāh of the man and that of the woman ( Deuteronomy 22:5 ). See Dress .
