κράσπεδον

Strong’s: G2899

Associated OET lemmas: κράσπεδον

Notes: It would be possible to treat κράσπεδον[a] simply as an abstract of shape; however, since both biblical and extrabiblical uses of κράσπεδον seem primarily associated with cloth and garments, there is some justification for treating κράσπεδον[a] in this subdomain.

Form 1

Part of speech: noun, n.

Inflections: κράσπεδον; -ου

Sense 1: fringe, edge, hem

Semantic entry: 6.180

Semantic domains: Artifacts

Subdomains: Cloth, Leather, and Objects Made of Such Materials

Definition: decorative tassel attached to the bottom edge of a long outer garment{N:001}

Notes: The edge of the garment designated by κράσπεδον[a] could have been plain or decorated. In OET MAT 23:5 κράσπεδον denotes the tassels worn at the four corners of the outer garment (see 6.194: κράσπεδον). It is also possible that in all instances in which κράσπεδον is used in reference to Jesus’ clothing, the reference may be specifically to the tassels and not merely to the fringe or edge of the garment. The interpretation of such passages depends upon how strictly Jesus may have followed the Mosaic law and the manner in which the authors may have understood the meaning of κράσπεδον.
