For follow-up discussion and general commentary on the topic. Comments are sorted chronologically.
"Gird thyself" is mentioned several times in both the new and old testiment. In my studies the word means to "tighten your belt, brace yourself, protect yourself" and even "cover thyself." I think it means to cover and or protect yourself.
