What does “girdle of his loins” mean?

Thomas R. Valletta

“The Lord is clothed in righteousness and faithfulness; these two qualities represent his very existence. … The Lord girds his loins with righteousness as he prepares to do his important work. The loins symbolize the creative powers (Gen. 35:11; 1 Kgs. 8:19; Acts 2:30). These items of clothing, the girdle of the loins and the sash around the waist, are also suggestive of temple ordinances” (Parry et al., Understanding Isaiah, 118).
