σανδάλ-ιον G4547
Sandals, the simple leather foot-coverings worn in biblical times, strapped to the foot
Σανδάλιον refers to the basic footwear of the ancient world—leather soles secured to the foot with straps. These simple sandals were essential for travel and daily life in the dusty, rocky terrain of Palestine. In Mark 6, Jesus instructs his disciples to wear sandals on their mission, providing practical protection while maintaining simplicity. In Acts 12, the angel commands Peter to put on his sandals during the miraculous prison escape. Sandals appear throughout Scripture as markers of journey, mission, and humble readiness (contrasted with elaborate footwear of the wealthy).
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — The two New Testament occurrences show sandals in practical contexts—missionary instruction and urgent escape. The Greek diminutive form suggests these were simple, unremarkable items. LSJ notes the term from the 5th century BC onward, also used for horseshoes and surgical bandages, but the biblical usage is clearly the common footwear. Multilingual translations uniformly recognize the basic shoe referent. 2×
