'Widow's' in the Bible
So she removed her widow’s garments and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gateway of Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah had grown up, and she had not been given to him as a wife.
Then she arose and departed, and removed her veil and put on her widow’s garments.
“You shall not pervert the justice due an alien or an orphan, nor take a widow’s garment in pledge.
He was a widow’s son from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill for doing any work in bronze. So he came to King Solomon and performed all his work.
“They drive away the donkeys of the orphans;They take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
“The blessing of the one ready to perish came upon me,And I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.
Your rulers are rebelsAnd companions of thieves;Everyone loves a bribeAnd chases after rewards.They do not defend the orphan,Nor does the widow’s plea come before them.
