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.
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.
