naked		"That is, he was only in his vest, or under garment; for [gumnos ( gumno/v )] naked, like the Hebrew arom, is frequently applied to one who has merely laid aside his outer garment. See 1Sa 19:24; 2Sa 6:20, on which see the note. To which may be added what we read in the LXX, Job 22:6, ""Thou has taken away the covering of the naked,"" [amphiazo] 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."
