Did Jesus Wear Pants?

Ancient Pants

The wearing of pants in Western culture probably arose with the equestrian warrior cultures of Asia minor. The Sythians of the area encompassed by today's Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Romania wore loose pants tucked into boots. A portrait of a warrior wearing pants appears on a cup found in a burial site from 770 BC.

The Greek historian Herodotus mentions the Sythians waring pants. Herodotus also mentions that the Amazons (female warriors of Greek mythology) as clad in trousers. An Amazon depicted on a vessel in 470 BC is obviously wearing pants.

Pants were adapted from the Sythians by the Persians (of modern Iran) by the 5th century BC.

The Celts, a nomadic people of Central Europe, wore pants, though documentation is sketchy at best. The style, copied from Sythians and Persians, spread through Central Europe around the third century BC.

Ancient Greeks and Romans equated the wearing of trousers with savagery and referred to those early trouser clad people as barbarians. When the Romans conquered Celtic Briton in the first century AD, they called the Irish "wild people." But as cultures mixed, Roman soldiers took to wearing a form of pants called braccae that resembled a pair of tight Capris, and were much more appropriate for cold weather climates than togas.

Braccae is the Latin root of the word breeches, a type of knee length trouser. Braccae, however, had adjustable hems and could be worn knee length or ankle length.

The Thorsberg Trousers pictured on the right are a relic from the 4th century AC and were found in Denmark.

Damendorf Man, a bog body found in 1900, perished between 140 - 380 AD. A pair of neatly folded pants was found near the corpse.

So, the Bible says that "breeches" are "from the loins unto the thigh shall they reach" and now you want to extend that to the knee and ankle?

I was clear it was anything in the design long or short was made for men. We have scripture of God initiating the making of them. And then cultures through histories, even keeping the same name for them. So we don't have to worry about where the design came from, it came directly from God (and got scripture to prove it..) , and we see through history they were always intended for men. So they weren't just undergarments, as y'all tried to claim, you and Costeon were saying "these are just male undergarments like boxers." Well according to history that isn't true.

Y'all can deny hard evidence all you want, but should I follow your opinion or what is clearly seen from scripture and history?

Hey maybe I should share with you this ground breaking piece of evidence. Any 5 year old can read it. This is the universal sign for bathroom.. Hey and it even says Feman for female, but she still put a dress on. Good for her!

Their underwear is not mentioned I don't believe, but again, in the OT it was described as boxer shorts. Again I'm talking about visible clothing. They did not wear trousers like ours. Then go read a Bible dictionary or encyclopedia. All this is covered. You will not find trousers mentioned as something Jews, Greeks, or Romans wore.

You can type this over and over and over to no avail!!!!!

So for the lionshare of the New Testament being hammered out they were teaching and instructing out of the Old.

The verses I was looking at were in the Gospels, some from things Jesus said or as described as wearing.

They didn't wear visible trousers like we wear. Over their underwear, which the only thing we have to go by here is that Exodus passage which describes something like boxer shorts, they wore a tunic, which basically was a long shirt. A cloak was worn over this. So regarding the tunic, it was more skirt-like than like our trousers. In the larger Greco-Roman world, trousers were not worn by men, except by the Germans and others regarded as barbarians.

So you think these men rode horses and mules in underwear with tunics over them?

Perhaps some men wore trousers in certain contexts. But the average Judean is in consideration. How does one "gird up their loins" in trousers?

Gird up the loins means tighten your belt.

The guys who made that diagram must of had the same teacher as you.

So, when God told Job to grid up his loins, He wanted Job to fight him?

Marijuana sure doesn't help intelligence.
