habergeon
an old english word for breastplate. in job 41:26 heb. shiryah
it is properly a "coat of mail;" the revised version has
"pointed shaft." in ex. 28:32, 39:23, it denotes a military
garment strongly and thickly woven and covered with mail round
the neck and breast. such linen corselets have been found in
egypt. the word used in these verses is _tahra_, which is of
egyptian origin. the revised version, however, renders it by
"coat of mail." see armour.
