The Definition of the word Coat
Coat
The tunic worn like the shirt next the skin (Lev. 16:4; Cant. "5:3; 2 Sam. 15:32; Ex. 28:4; 29:5). The "coats of skins" prepared by God for Adam and Eve were probably nothing more than aprons (Gen. 3:21). This tunic was sometimes woven entire "without a seam (John 19:23); it was also sometimes of "many" "colours" (Gen. 37:3; R.V. marg., "a long garment with sleeves")." "The "fisher's coat" of John 21:7 was obviously an outer garment" "or cloak, as was also the "coat" made by Hannah for Samuel (1" Sam. 2:19). (See [120]DRESS.)
