Commentary for Job 30:18
בְּרָב־כֹּ֭חַ יִתְחַפֵּ֣שׂ לְבוּשִׁ֑י כְּפִ֖י כֻתָּנְתִּ֣י יַֽאַזְרֵֽנִי׃
By the great force [of my disease] is my garment disfigured; It bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
Rashi on Job
is my garment changed My “garment” changes, layer after layer. When a person removes his garments and puts on other garments different from the first ones, he calls these בִּגְדֵי חֹפֶשׁ, like (I Kings 22:30), “I will disguise myself (התחפש) and go into battle.” This is translated into Aramaic by the word אשתני, I will change.

Rashi on Job
like the opening of my shirt it girds me Like the opening of my shirt, which girds and encompasses my neck, so do my garments gird me all around.
