Girdle is worn about the loins. Enos bore record that the Lamanites were “dwelling in tents, and wandering about in the wilderness with a short skin girdle about their loins and their heads shaven” (Enos 1:20). Men came up upon the north of the land of Shilom, and “they were girded with a leathern girdle about their loins” (Mosiah 10:8).
“None shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken” (2 Nephi 15:27). “And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins” (2 Nephi 21:5). “And it shall come to pass, instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle, a rent; and instead of well set hair, baldness” (2 Nephi 13:24).
