Strong's Lexicon abnet: Belt, Sash Original Word: אַבְנֵט Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to gird Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for "abnet" is not directly listed in Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the concept of priestly garments is more thoroughly detailed in the Hebrew Scriptures. However, the Greek term "ζώνη" (zōnē, Strong's G2223) can be considered a general equivalent for a belt or girdle. Usage: The term "abnet" refers to a belt or sash, often used in the context of priestly garments. It signifies a piece of clothing that is wrapped around the waist, serving both functional and symbolic purposes. In the Hebrew Bible, the "abnet" is primarily associated with the attire of the priests, particularly the high priest, as part of their sacred vestments. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, clothing held significant cultural and religious symbolism. The "abnet" was an essential part of the priestly garments, which were meticulously designed according to divine instructions. The sash was made of fine linen and often embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, symbolizing purity, royalty, and sacrifice. The priestly garments, including the "abnet," set the priests apart for their holy duties, emphasizing their role as mediators between God and the people.
