put dust . Rending the clothes , beating the breast , tearing the hair , throwing dust upon the head , and falling prostrate , were usual signs of deep affliction and distress among the ancient Israelites. In illustration of this custom , see note on 1 Samuel 4 . 12 , when the messenger brought tidings to Eli of the discomfiture of the armies of Israel by the Philistines; again , in the case of Tamar , 2 Samuel 13 . 19 , and in Nehemiah 9 . 1 , when a whole nation , "assembled with fasting , and with sackcloth , and earth upon them." In the case of Mordecai , see note on Esther 4 . 1. See note on Job 2 . 12 , where his friends abased themselves to comfort him. See note on Ezekiel 27 . 30 , see note on Jonah 3 . 6 , and see note on Micah 1 . 10. In each of these instances it is worthy of remark , that putting dust on the head generally follows rending of the clothes , and was the usual mode of evincing poignant sorrow.

Babylonish garment . Addereth shinâr , "a splendid or costly robe of Shinar ," the plain in which Babylon stood. Bochart and Calmet have shewn at large , that Babylonish robes were very splendid , and in high reputation. Calmet says , they are generally allowed to have been of various colours , though some suppose they were woven thus; others , that they were embroidered with the needle; and others , that they were painted. Silius Italicus seems to think they were woven. Martial supposes them to have been embroidered with the needle; and Pliny and Apuleius speak of them as painted. Genesis 10 . 10 , *marg.
