Sackcloth:
"a warm material woven from goat's or camel's hair," and hence of a dark color, Rev 6:12; Jerome renders it saccus cilicinus (being made from the hair of the black goat of Cilicia; the Romans called it cilicium); cp. Isa 50:3; it was also used for saddle-cloths, Jos 9:4; also for making sacks, e.g., Gen 42:25, and for garments worn as expressing mourning or penitence, Mat 11:21; Luk 10:13, or for purposes of prophetic testimony, Rev 11:3.
Sackcloth:
cloth used in making sacks or bags, a coarse fabric, of a dark color, made of goat's hair (Isaiah 50:3; Revelation 6:12) and resembling the eilicium of the Romans. It was used also for making the rough garments used by mourners, which were in extreme cases worn next the skin (1 Kings 21:27; 2 Kings 6:30Job 16:15; Isaiah 32:11).
