<p> | <p> '''Cotton.''' [[Cotton]] is now both grown and manufactured in various parts of [[Syria]] and Palestine; but there is no proof that, till they came in contact with Persia, the Hebrews generally knew of it as a distinct fabric from linen. See '''Linen''' . </p> | ||

<p> '''''kot''''' ´''''''n''''' ( | <p> '''''kot''''' ´''''''n''''' ( כּרפס , <i> '''''karpaṣ''''' </i> is the better translation, as in the Revised Version, margin, where the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American) have "green" in Esther 1:6 ): The [[Hebrew]] <i> '''''karpaṣ''''' </i> is from the [[Persian]] kirpas and the Sanskrit <i> '''''karpāsa''''' </i> , "the cotton plant." The derived words originally meant "muslin" or "calico," but in classical times the use of words allied to <i> '''''karpaṣ''''' </i> ̌ - in Greek and Latin - was extended to include linen. The probability is in favor of "cotton" in Esther 1:6 . This is the product of <i> Gossypium herbaceum </i> , a plant originally from India but now cultivated in many other lands. </p> | ||
