Word of the Day - 7/4/2008

Tog

A tog is a coat or a cloak.

Though Joseph nobly fled from Potiphar's wife attempts at seduction, he left his tog which falsely implicated him.

She caught him by his garment, saying, "Lie with me!" And he left his garment in her hand and fled, and went outside. (Genesis 39:12, NASB)

Note: This depiction of Joseph fleeing from Potiphar's wife was painted by Carlo Cignani (1628-1719).
