Obviously this is a guy thing. Therefore, women can ignore those verses about girding up your loins. 🙂
Some might wonder why wear a long tunic in a hot climate. In fact, a loose fitting tunic was more comfortable since air could enter at the ground and flow upwards around the sweaty body to help it stay cool. A loose neck and arm holes allow much air to flow. Girding the loins would also have the effect of protecting the genitals since no one wore undergarments.
Interesting post. Thanks.
I’ve been girding up my loins since I was 17, and while I always instinctively felt I was doing it correctly, it is nice to see this empirical loin-girding information! Thank you!
