In Jewish tradition

It means changed and spoiled in shape, as when Job's clothes are twisted and stuck to him by sickness.

Interpretation. Job's illness is so great that it changes how his body and clothing look. The tradition sees this as part of his deep suffering as he is tested.

Examples

  • By the great force of my disease is my garment disfigured; it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat. (Writings JOB.30.18, JPS 1917) tree →
