Again, the common attire of the average Judean is well known, even if you refuse to accept it.

Well known where?

You mean the Bible well known, or something some guy passed around and accepted , well know.

Listen they barely understand how temples were built. How Romans made their concrete to last for thousands of years. Especially Bronze age Judeans dressed.
But we have documents, which in their writings since they frowned on making images of themselves, as did the early Judean Christians. We take the writings and they sure don't show that they wrapped their robes into a knot to fight anyone. They had trousers, which they had a belt going around the waist of the coat, robe, and trousers. .

They didn't wear visible trousers like we wear. Over their underwear, which the only thing we have to go by here is that Exodus passage which describes something like boxer shorts, they wore a tunic, which basically was a long shirt. A cloak was worn over this. So regarding the tunic, it was more skirt-like than like our trousers. In the larger Greco-Roman world, trousers were not worn by men, except by the Germans and others regarded as barbarians.

Verses in the New Testament which speaks of Jesus one piece outer coat?
Is that what you were referring to?

The trousers worn by the Judeans were like those worn by their Persian captors.

All I can say is, wow. If you want to believe that, go ahead.

You should get out more. If you ever get to Israel, stop by these very interesting facilities:

After dealing with antagonistic people, I suppose most at some point break down and reply in kind.

See the attached image for an actual depiction of Hebrew clothing from King Jehu's time.

Horses, mules, donkeys and especially camels had seats. They sat on top of the seat. When a woman or children were placed on these animals it was in type of a basket seat. Anyway the whole argument rests on the progression on the uniform which survived as male, or manliness which is pants on a man. For hundreds of years, to thousands we have pants. I need to start asking the people who are posting if they believe if man evolved from apes and lived naked in caves. Or did God actually dress the first human beings. Wouldn't that be interesting.

But thank you for the kindness. God bless.

Excuse me but you posted a portion of the Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser III. Which as you have Jehu offering the King his head for the king to set his foot. Correct? Allow me to ask you this? Who created the obelisk?
