תַּכְרִיךְ noun masculine robe וְתַכְרִיךְ בּוּץ וְאַרְגָּמָן Esther 9:15.

כרכב

quadril. (√ of following; compare Late Hebrew כִּרְכֵּב, furnish with a rim, enclose, set).

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb כָּרַךְ (karakh), meaning "to wrap" or "to encircle."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G1238 (διαδέσμη, diadésmē), which also refers to a type of binding or wrapping, often used in the context of a headband or diadem. This Greek term shares the thematic element of encircling or binding, similar to the Hebrew תַּכְרִיךְ, and is used in the New Testament to convey ideas of authority, honor, or consecration.

Usage: The term תַּכְרִיךְ is used in the context of a garment or covering, often implying a form of wrapping or encircling, such as a robe or a shroud.

Context: The Hebrew word תַּכְרִיךְ (takh'rikh) appears in the Old Testament as a noun that denotes a type of garment or covering. It is associated with the concept of wrapping or encircling, which is consistent with its root verb כָּרַךְ (karakh). This term is used to describe a robe or a shroud, indicating its function as a protective or concealing garment. In biblical times, garments such as these were significant not only for their practical use but also for their symbolic meanings, often representing status, identity, or ritual purity.

The use of תַּכְרִיךְ in the Hebrew Bible is limited, but its implications are profound, particularly in contexts where clothing signifies transformation, protection, or preparation for a significant event. The robe or wrapper could be seen as a metaphor for divine protection or a new identity bestowed upon an individual.
