Girdle


Girdle

Revelation 1:13

Excerpt


A golden girdle. The girdle is an Old Testament symbol of power, righteousness, truth (Isa. 22:21; Job 12:18; Isa. 11:5). Compare Eph. 6:14, where the girdle of the Christian panoply is the truth which binds together the whole array of graces as the girdle does the upper and lower parts of the armor. The girdle suits equally Christ’s kingly and priestly office. The girdle of the High-Priest was not golden but only inwrought with gold. See Exod. 28:8: “curious girdle:” Rev., “cunningly woven band.” So Exod. 29:5.

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
