This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

33. ἱματισμοῦ, apparel. In which Oriental wealth largely consisted. Hence Naaman brings ‘changes of raiment’ as well as money among the rewards which he expects to give for his cure (2Ki 5:5), and the value attached to changes of raiment may be noticed in many other parts of the Scripture history. Cf. Gen 24:53; Gen 45:22; 2Ki 7:8, &c. Cf. ‘Teaching of the Twelve Apostles’ § 13.

ἱματισμός is frequent in the LXX. Cf. 1Sa 27:9; 1Ki 22:30; and in 1Ma 11:24 we find λαβὼν ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ ἱματισμὸν ἐπορεύθη πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, where there are put together the three classes of Eastern riches exactly as in this verse.
