Strong’s Greek Lexicon
of Hebrew origin H8242; “sack”-cloth, i.e. mohair (the material or garments made of it, worn as a sign of grief):—sackcloth.
Owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for numbers 2717 and 3203–3302, which were therefore silently dropped out of the vocabulary and references as redundant.
