Senses in use

  1. Waist-bound item among prescribed garments · dominant

    In Exodus 28:4 the singular form appears in a list of garments to be made for Aaron and his sons, while Exodus 28:39 places it with the tunic and turban and describes it as woven work. In Exodus 29:9 and Leviticus 8:7, the clause places the item in the action of binding or tying it on; in Exodus 39:29 the APB renders the completed item as made from twisted linen and colored yarn.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB uses “girdle,” “girdles,” “sashes,” and “sash” in the surrounding clothing clauses. These renderings confirm the garment context rather than establish separate senses.
