ܟ݁ܺܝܣܳܐ

KJV translation of a Greek term for a belt, girdle, or waistband (Matthew 10:9; Mark 6:8 ). Travelers could tuck the loose ends of their garments into such a belt to allow freer movement. The folds of such waistbands were frequently used for storing money. Jesus encouraged His disciples to trust God and depend on the generosity of others as they shared the gospel. See Girdle .
