Exegesis
The prepositional phrase al motnay {עַל־מָתְנַי | ʿal mōt-nāy} ‘on my loins’ completes the symbolic act. The Hebrew syntax places the command immediately before the action, emphasizing causality, while the English rendering shifts the prepositional clause for natural flow without losing original emphasis.
In context — Jeremiah 13:2
And I bought the belt according to the word of the LORD , and I placed it upon my loins .
