שִׂמְלָה“mantle”שִׂמְלָה (simlah) is the usual and better known spelling of this word: the large outer wrap an ordinary Israelite draped over the tunic by day and slept in at night, and the garment the law protects when a poor person hands it over as security for a loan. The very same word is also spelled שַׂלְמָה (salmah), with the middle two letters swapped, and the two spellings mean exactly the same thing. The standard dictionaries list simlah as the primary form and treat both as one word.
