From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Habergeon
    an Old English word for breastplate. In Job 41:26 (Heb. shiryah)
    it is properly a "coat of mail;" the Revised Version has
    "pointed shaft." In Ex. 28:32, 39:23, it denotes a military
    garment strongly and thickly woven and covered with mail round
    the neck and breast. Such linen corselets have been found in
    Egypt. The word used in these verses is _tahra_, which is of
    Egyptian origin. The Revised Version, however, renders it by
    "coat of mail." (See ARMOUR.)
