Note 388 — Chapter IV · GOATS-HAIR.
Reading edition
“So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sack-cloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. The word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sack-cloth, and sat in ashes.”—Jonah iii. 5, 6. In v. 5. we should translate “put on hair-cloths;” for the word is plural in the Hebrew.
