Today's Reading - July 15, 2010

1 Chronicles 19:1-21:30
Romans 2:25-3:8
Psalm 11:1-7
Proverbs 19:10-12


Other than the obvious embarrassment of it, is there some special significance to the ambassadors' robes being cut off at the buttocks?

Exodus 28:42 tells the priests to "make for them linen undergarments to cover their naked flesh. They shall reach from the hips to the thighs". The inference is that the exposed upper leg is offensive to God, and having it exposed was a source of shame to the Israelite.
