וַ יֹּוצֵא הָ עֶבֶד כְּלֵי כֶסֶף וּ כְלֵי זָהָב וּ בְגָדִים וַ יִּתֵּן לְ רִבְקָה וּ מִגְדָּנֹת נָתַן לְ אָחִיהָ וּ לְ אִמָּהּ
And the Slave is causing to go out finished-articles821 of a silver-one, and finished-articles of a gold-one, and garments-of-treachery,822 and he is giving to Stall-Fed, and he has given precious-things823 to her brother and to her mother.
822

Strong’s #899, beged. Treachery, garments. This word for garment has an important underlying meaning. It is specifically used of treachery in Isaiah 24:16 and Jeremiah 12:1 and is from the root verb bagad (#898) meaning to act or deal treacherously.
