Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be hard or to protect.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term for a similar type of armor is found in Strong's Greek Number G2382, θώραξ (thorax), which also refers to a breastplate or coat of mail. This term is used in the New Testament, such as in Ephesians 6:14, where believers are exhorted to "stand firm, then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place." The metaphorical use of armor in the New Testament continues the theme of spiritual protection and preparedness. Usage: The term שִׁרְיוֹן (shiryon) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a piece of defensive armor, specifically a coat of mail or breastplate, worn by warriors to protect the torso during combat. Context: The Hebrew term שִׁרְיוֹן (shiryon) appears in several passages of the Old Testament, denoting a type of protective armor. This armor, often referred to as a "coat of mail" or "corslet," was typically constructed from interlinked metal rings or scales, providing both flexibility and protection. The use of such armor is indicative of the military practices and technological advancements of ancient Near Eastern cultures.
