Word Origin:From a root word meaning "to bind" or "to gird"

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: -G4526: σάκκος (sakkos) - Used in the New Testament to denote sackcloth, maintaining the same connotations of mourning and repentance.

Usage:The Hebrew word "saq" refers to a coarse, rough fabric typically made from goat's hair. It is most commonly translated as "sackcloth" in English. In the Bible, sackcloth is often associated with mourning, repentance, and humility. It was worn as a sign of grief or penitence, often accompanied by ashes, to express sorrow or contrition before God.

Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Near Eastern cultures, wearing sackcloth was a traditional expression of mourning or distress. The fabric's rough texture symbolized discomfort and self-affliction, reflecting the inner turmoil of the wearer. Sackcloth was also used in times of national crisis or personal repentance, serving as a public demonstration of humility and a plea for divine intervention or forgiveness.
