It conveys the idea of readiness and alertness, as one would gird up their garments to move freely and without hindrance. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe spiritual readiness and preparedness for service or battle.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient times, people wore long robes that could impede movement. To "gird up" meant to tie up these garments with a belt or girdle, allowing for greater mobility. This practice was common among soldiers, laborers, and travelers, symbolizing readiness and determination. Spiritually, it reflects a state of preparedness and vigilance, often associated with readiness for spiritual warfare or service to God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1223.htm">dia</a> and <a href="/greek/2224.htm">zónnumi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to gird around<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>girded (2), put (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 1241: διαζωννύω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">διαζωννύω</span></span> or <span class="greek2">διαζώννυμι</span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">διέζωσα</span>; 1 aorist middle <span class="greek2">διεζωσαμην</span>; perfect passive preposition <span class="greek2">διεζωσμένος</span>; <span class="accented">to bind or gird all around</span> (<span class="greek2">διά</span>; this force of the preposition appears in the tropical use of the verb in <span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, Brut. 31, 2 <span class="greek2">ὡς</span> <span class="greek2">δ'</span> <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> <span class="greek2">φλόξ</span> <span class="greek2">ῥυεις</span> <span class="greek2">καί</span> <span class="greek2">διαζώσασα</span> <span class="greek2">πανταχόθεν</span> <span class="greek2">τήν</span> <span class="greek2">πόλιν</span> <span class="greek2">διελαμψε</span> <span class="greek2">πολλή</span>): <span class="greek2">ἑαυτόν</span>, <a href="/interlinear/john/13-4.htm">John 13:4</a>; passive <span class="greek2">διαζωννυμαι</span> <span class="greek2">τί</span> <span class="accented">to be girded</span>: <span class="greek2">ᾧ</span> (by attraction for <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (yet cf.
