Breastplate in Exodus and St. Paul?

[Jim_Baur]

I am not even sure if breastplate is one word.

However, how is the Hebrew word for breastplate translated into the LXX?

Is it the same word that St. Paul uses in Ephesians?

Thanks!

Any help?

Thanks!

Breastplate: found 2 Greek words, ‘logeion’ & ‘thoraka’

Hebrew: חשן / kho-shen…eg Ex 28:15 (this is what the high priest wore)

Greek LXX: λογεῖον / logeion…eg Ex 28:15, not found in NT

Greek NT: θωρακα / thoraka…in Eph 6:14, 1 Thess 5:8, Isaiah 59:17

Hebrew: שׁריון / shir-yone = breastplate, coat of armor (Goliath had one of these)

Isaiah 59:17
For he put on righteousness as a breastplate (shir-yone, thoraka)
and an helmet of salvation upon his head;
and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing,
and was clad with zeal as a cloke.
