âPishtenâ is Hebrew for linen, or fine linen in the Bible. The root word is âpashâ, which means âextremityâ in English, interestingly enough. We are given examples of the many uses for this special fabric in scripture as a holy covering for those in service to Yah.
In the International Standard Version of the Bible, the clearest description of linen and being clean is given first: âThis is the law concerning fungal contagions on clothing of wool or linen (whether woven or knitted material) or in any of the articles made of leather, for determining whether it is clean or unclean.â Leviticus 13:59
Itâs also noteworthy that âleprosyâ, a âdeadly unclean contaminationâ from the KJV and other translations, is described as âmildewâ, in this verse. It is less clear in the KJV: âThis is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woolen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.â
I never understood how or what a contaminated garment with leprosy was connected with a âwarp or woofâ. However, the original language of Hebrew tells us that a âwarp or woofâ has nothing to do with time or dogs. Itâs describing the fabric types: woven linen or knit linen.
In ancient Israel, linen was a significant textile, often associated with wealth and status due to the labor-intensive process required to produce it. The cultivation of flax and the production of linen were important economic activities. Linen garments were worn by priests during temple service, signifying holiness and separation unto God. The use of linen in religious contexts underscores its symbolic association with purity and divine service. (Biblehub.com)
Deut. 22:11 gives specifics about not mixing the fabrics: âYou shall not wear a material mixed of wool and linen together.â
