It is a code, however, radically dissimilar from those used in cryptography; neither can it, more generally, be equated with the language rules that govern speech and writing.

Ketonet passim, in the Hebrew. The word passim can be translated as
"colorful" (Radak; Septuagint),
"embroidered" (Ibn Ezra; Bachya; Nachmanides on Exodus 28:2),
"striped" (Ibn Janach; Radak, Sherashim), or
"illustrated" (Targum Yonathan). It can also denote
a long garment, coming down to the
"palms" of the hands (Rashbam; Ibn Ezra; Baaley Tosafoth; Midrash Rabbah), and the
feet (Lekach Tov). Alternatively, the word denotes the material out of which the
coat was made, which was
fine wool (Rashi) or
silk (Ibn Janach). Hence,
Ketonet passim, may be translated as
"a full-sleeved robe,"
"a coat of many colors,"
"a coat reaching to his feet,"
"an ornamented tunic,"
"a silk robe," or
"a fine woolen cloak."
