the tunic worn like the shirt next the skin (Le 16:4; Song 5:3; 2Sa 15:32; Ex 28:4; 29:5). The "coats of skins" prepared by God for Adam and Eve were probably nothing more than aprons (Ge 3:21). This tunic was sometimes woven entire without a seam (Joh 19:23); it was also sometimes of "many colours" (Ge 37:3; R.V. marg., "a long garment with sleeves"). The "fisher's coat" of Joh 21:7 was obviously an outer garment or cloak, as was also the "coat" made by Hannah for Samuel (1Sa 2:19). (See Dress.)
