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).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
