- the breastplate:
- The θωραξ [Strong's G2382], or breastplate, consisted of two parts; one of which covered the whole region of the thorax or breast, and the other the back, as far down as the front part extended. "For he put onª° righteousnessª as a breastplate,ª and an helmetª of salvationª upon his head;ª and he put onª° the garmentsª of vengeanceª [for] clothing,ª and was cladª° with zealª as a cloke.ª" {Isa 59:17} + "Butª let²° us,ª who areª° of the day,ª be sober,ª° putting onª° the breastplateª of faithª andª love;ª andª for an helmet,ª the hopeª of salvation.ª" {1Th 5:8} + "Andª they hadª° breastplates,ª as it wereª breastplatesª of iron;ª andª the¹ soundª of their²¹ wingsª [was] asª the soundª of chariotsª of manyª horsesª runningª° toª battle.ª" {Rev 9:9} + "Andª thusª I sawª° the¹ horsesª inª the¹ vision,ª andª them that satª° onª them,ª havingª° breastplatesª of fire,ª andª of jacinth,ª andª brimstone:ª andª the¹ headsª of the¹ horsesª [were] asª the headsª of lions;ª andª out ofª their²¹ mouthsª issuedª° fireª andª smokeª andª brimstone.ª" {Rev 9:17}
