In biblical times, it was an essential part of a person's attire, serving both practical and symbolic purposes. It was used to hold up garments for ease of movement, especially in preparation for work or battle.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the girdle or belt was a significant garment. It was often made of leather or cloth and could be simple or ornate, depending on the wearer's status. The act of girding oneself was symbolic of readiness and strength, often associated with preparation for action, whether for work, travel, or warfare. The girdle also had a role in priestly garments, signifying service and dedication.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">חֲגוֺר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>belt, gridle</b></font> (distinct from <font class="hebrew2">אֵזוֺר</font> <em>waist-cloth</em>, Che<sup>Jer, in Pulpit Comm.
