Hebrews 1:12

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up,.... In order to lay them aside, and make no use of them in the manner they now are; just as clothes, when they are grown old, or out of fashion, are folded up, and laid aside from use at present, or are put into another form.

In the Hebrew text it is, "as a vesture shalt thou change them"; but the sense is the same, for a garment is changed by folding it, or turning it; agreeably to which Jarchi interprets the Hebrew phrase thus,"as a man turns his garment to put it off;''the Vulgate Latin version reads as the Hebrew does, and one of the manuscripts of New College, Oxford.
