Heb. demeshek, “damask,” silk cloth manufactured at Damascus, Amos 3:12. King James Version, “in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch;” R.V., “in the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed” (marg., “in Damascus on a bed”).

Heb. meshi, (Ezezekiel 16:10, Ezekiel 16:13, rendered “silk”). In Genesis 41:42 (marg. King James Version), Proverbs 31:22 (R.V., “fine linen”), the word “silk” ought to be “fine linen.”

Silk was common in New Testament times (Revelation 18:12).
