It was used not only to hold clothing in place but also to carry money, tools, or weapons. In a spiritual context, the belt is often associated with readiness and truth, as seen in the metaphorical "belt of truth" in Ephesians 6:14. The girdle was also a symbol of strength and preparedness, as it allowed the wearer to move freely and efficiently.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2223</b> <i>zṓnē</i> – a belt (waistband), pulled tightly to remove all the slack from a garment. <a href="/greek/2223.htm">2223</a> <i>/zṓnē</i> ("a belt") was tied around the mid-section – hence, called "a girdle" in the <i>KJV</i>.</p><p class="discovery">[<a href="/greek/2223.htm">2223</a> <i>/zṓnē</i> ("a belt") was often hollow to be used as a money-belt – therefore also called a "purse" in the <i>KJV</i>.]</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2224.htm">zónnumi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a belt<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>belt (5), belts (1), money belts (1), sash (1), sashes (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2223: ζώνη</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ζώνη</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ζώνης</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ζώννυμι</span> (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down), <span class="accented">a girdle, belt,</span> serving not only to gird on flowing garments, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/3-4.htm">Matthew 3:4</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/1-6.htm">Mark 1:6</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/21-11.htm">Acts 21:11</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/1-13.htm">Revelation 1:13</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/15-6.htm">Revelation 15:6</a>; but also, since it was hollow, to carry money in (<span class="abbreviation">A.
