This will receive illustration from Mr. Jackson's description of the Moorish dress:

"It resembles that of the ancient patriarchs, as represented in paintings - but the paintings are taken from Asiatic models
that of the men consists of a red cap and turban, a (kumja ) shirt, which hangs outside of the drawers, and comes below the knee; a (caftan ) coat, which buttons close before, and down to the bottom with large open sleeves; over which, when they go out of doors, they throw carelessly, and sometimes elegantly, a hayk, or garment of white cotton, silk, or wool, five or six yards long, and five feet wide. The Arabs often dispense with the caftan, and even with the shirt, wearing nothing but the hayk. "

Verse 15on the seventh dayThe LXX reads "on the fourth day;" with which the Syriac and Arabic agree. This, as Dr. Wall observes, is certainly right; for it appears from Judges 14:17, that she wept the remainder of the seven days; for which there could have been no time, if they did not threaten her till the seventh.Entice16:5; Genesis 3:1-6; Proverbs 1:11, 5:3, 6:26; Micah 7:5 lest we burnJudges 12:1, 15:6 take that we haveHeb. possess us, or, impoverish usReciprocal15:3 - though; Esther 4:14 - but thou; Ecclesiastes 10:13 - beginning; 1 Corinthians 2:4 - not Verse 16Thou dostJudges 16:15 I have notGenesis 2:24ReciprocalJudges 15:2 - I verily Verse 17the sevenor, the rest of the seven daysshe layJudges 16:6, 16:13, 16:16; Genesis 3:6; Job 2:9; Proverbs 7:21; Luke 11:8, 18:4, 18:5 and she toldProverbs 2:16, 2:17ReciprocalJudges 14:15 - on the seventh day Verse 18Reciprocal2 Samuel 1:23 - stronger; Psalm 81:16 - honey; Proverbs 30:30 - General; Ezekiel 1:10 - the face of a lion Verse 19the SpiritJudges 14:6, 3:10, 13:25, 15:14; 1 Samuel 11:6 spoilor, apparelReciprocalGenesis 45:22 - each; Deuteronomy 33:22 - General; Judges 6:34 - the Spirit; 15:7 - Though; 16:30 - So the dead; 1 Samuel 18:27 - slew; 2 Samuel 1:20 - Tell; 2:21 - armour; 2 Chronicles 14:14 - exceeding Verse 20given toJudges 15:2 his friendPsalm 55:12, 55:13; Jeremiah 9:5; Micah 7:5; Matthew 26:49, 26:50; John 3:29, 13:18ReciprocalGenesis 38:20 - his friend; 1 Samuel 18:19 - Adriel; 2 Samuel 13:3 - a friend
