(Some words not found in UHB: and,helmet copper/brass/bronze//coin on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in his/its=head and,coat scale he/it wore and,weight the,coat five thousand shekels bronze )

A “coat of chainmail” is a flexible piece of body armor covered with protective scales or small plates. If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “he protected himself by wearing a coat of chainmail” or “he wore a coat of chainmail”
