Girdle:
(1.) Heb. hagor, a girdle of any kind worn by soldiers (1Sa 18:4; 2Sa 20:8; 1Ki 2:5; 2Ki 3:21) or women (Isa 3:24).
(2.) Heb. 'ezor, something "bound," worn by prophets (2Ki 1:8; Jer 13:1), soldiers (Isa 5:27; 2Sa 20:8; Eze 23:15), Kings (Job 12:18).
(3.) Heb. mezah, a "band," a girdle worn by men alone (Psa 109:19; Isa 22:21).
(4.) Heb. 'abnet, the girdle of sacerdotal and state officers (Exd 28:4,39,40; 29:9; 39:29).
(5.) Heb. hesheb, the "curious girdle" (Exd 28:8; R.V., "cunningly woven band") was attached to the ephod, and was made of the same material.
The common girdle was made of leather (2Ki 1:8; Mat 3:4); a finer sort of linen (Jer 13:1; Eze 16:10; Dan 10:5). Girdles of sackcloth were worn in token of sorrow (Isa 3:24; 22:12). They were variously fastened to the wearer (Mar 1:6; Jer 13:1; Eze 16:10).
The girdle was a symbol of strength and power (Job 12:18,21; 30:11; Isa 22:21; 45:5). "Righteousness and faithfulness" are the girdle of the Messiah (Isa 11:5).
Girdles were used as purses or pockets (Mat 10:9. A. V., "purses; Also Mar 6:8).
