48.5 · Activities Involving Cloth
to sew on, to sew to to stitch or sew pieces of cloth together This statement in MRK 2:21 may seem entirely senseless in some societies, since it is a familiar practice to sew new cloth on an old garment; in fact, garments may be so patched that it is difficult to determine what was the original piece of cloth. It may, therefore, be important to have some type of marginal explanation.
