The imagery of girding one&#8217;s loins conveys readiness, urgency, and an active stance for what is to come, which is a theme found in several passages in the Torah. For example, in Exodus\u00a012:11\u00a0God instructs Israel to eat the Passover meal in a state of preparedness having loins girded. The phrase\u05de\u05b8\u05ea\u05b0\u05e0\u05b5\u05d9\u05db\u05b6\u05dd \u05d7\u05b2\u05d2\u05d5\u05bc\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd (your loins girded) emphasizes the need for physical readiness to depart from Egypt at a moment\u2019s notice. This imagery directly corresponds to the call for vigilance and preparation in Luke\u00a012:35, where Yeshua uses the same metaphor to encourage His followers to stay ready for His return. Another connection can be found in Exodus 28:4 with the act of girding the loins symbolized readiness for the priesthood to perform holy duties, emphasizing the seriousness and sacredness of their calling. This idea aligns with Yeshua\u2019s admonition to live in constant readiness for the fulfillment of God\u2019s kingdom. Additionally, the Torah conveys a broader theme of spiritual and physical preparedness in the lives of God\u2019s people such as in Deuteronomy\u00a010:12-13 which calls Israel to fear the Lord, walk in His ways, love Him, and serve Him wholeheartedly, which implicitly demands a posture of readiness and dedication. This idea resonates with the instruction in Luke\u00a012:35\u00a0to maintain a readiness for action and service to God. We note again this is how the NT teaches Torah, the Torah has not passed away!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bits of Torah Truths &#8211; Torah Concept in the NT: Let Loins be Girded &#8211; Episode 489 Luke\u00a012:35\u00a0\u05f4\u05d9\u05b4\u05d4\u05b0\u05d9\u05d5\u05bc \u05de\u05b8\u05ea\u05b0\u05e0\u05b5\u05d9\u05db\u05b6\u05dd \u05d7\u05b2\u05d2\u05d5\u05bc\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d5\u05bc\u05de\u05b0\u05e0\u05d5\u05b9\u05e8\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea\u05b5\u05d9\u05db\u05b6\u05dd \u05d3\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05dc\u05b0\u05e7\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea.\u00a0 #torah\u00a0#torahwisdom\u00a0#torahtruth\u00a0#torahforlife\u00a0#torah4you\u00a0#torahtruth\u00a0 Luke\u00a012:35\u00a012:35\u00a0\u201cBe dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit.
