See note on Sa1 19:24, and see note on Sa2 6:20. To which may be added what we read in the LXX, Job 22:6, "Thou has taken away the covering of the naked," αμφιαιν γυμνων, the plaid, or blanket, in which they wrapped themselves, and besides they had no other. In this sense Virgil says, Nudus ara, sere nudus "plough naked, and sow naked," i.e., strip off your upper garments. John 21:8
