Cloaks

Your cloaks (שִׂמְלָ֨תְךָ֜) did not wear out and your foot (וְרַגְלְךָ֖) did not swell (בָצֵ֑קָה) during these forty years. Deuteronomy 8:4

Yet YHVH says, “During the forty years that I led you through the wilderness, your cloaks (שַׂלְמֹֽתֵיכֶם֙) did not wear out, nor did your sandal (וְנַֽעַלְךָ֥) on your foot (רַגְלֶֽךָ). Deuteronomy 29:5

If you take your neighbor’s cloak (שַׂלְמַ֣ת) as a pledge, return it by sunset, because that cloak (שִׂמְלָת֖וֹ) is the only covering (כְסוּתוֹ֙) your neighbor has for his skin (לְעֹר֑וֹ). What else can he sleep in? When he cries out to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate. Exodus 22:26‭-‬27

So much in chapter 8 yesterday. The clothes rather than the shoes did come to note in verse 4 but this was a small detail. The significant discussion with these young men was the well received and clear message connecting D8 to Heb10 and of course 1Cor10. Powerful.
