- ζώννυμι zṓnnymi · G2224 · to gird, to fasten one’s belt, to tie around the waist
- The Greek verb ζώννυμι is the standard translation equivalent for the Hebrew concept of girding. While חָגוֹר is an adjective/participle meaning 'girded,' the Greek participle ἐζωσμένος from ζώννυμι would be the natural equivalent in translation contexts.
- περιζώννυμι perizṓnnymi · G4024 · to gird oneself, to be girded, to be tied around
