The first instance of an Israelite being described as in sackcloth and ashes is found in the biblical account of Job. In Job 2:8, after experiencing immense suffering and loss, Job sits in ashes and tears his robe, symbolizing mourning and repentance. Sackcloth and ashes were common ancient Near Eastern expressions of grief or contrition, often associated with seeking God's favor or mercy.
