HABIT is also employed to signify a dress or garb, or the composition of garments, with which a person is covered. The principal part of the dress worn by the Jews and Greeks was the hazarim and the zirus. The hazarim was an upper garment, consisting of a loose square piece of cloth wrapped round the body; the zirus was an under garment, or tunic, which was fastened round the body and embraced it closely, falling down to the mid thigh. It is proper to observe, however, that a person divested of this upper garment or hazarim is, in the language of the east, styled naked; and in this sense David danced naked before the ark.
