Bible | Harness (1.) Heb. 'asar, "to bind;" hence the act of fastening animals to a cart (1 Sam. 6:7, 10; Jer. 46:4, etc.). (2.) An Old English word for "armour;" Heb. neshek (2 Chr. 9:24). (3.) Heb. shiryan, a coat of mail (1 Kings 22:34; 2 Chr. 18:33; rendered "breastplate" in Isa. 59:17). (4.) The children of Israel passed out of Egypt "harnessed" (Ex. 13:18), i.e., in an orderly manner, and as if to meet a foe. The word so rendered is probably a derivative from Hebrew _hamesh_ (i.e., "five"), and may denote that they went up in five divisions, viz., the van, centre, two wings, and rear-guard.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A climbing harness is a piece of equipment used in traditional climbing. It is for securing a human to a piece of rope. In its simplest form it is just a length of rope or a tape sling tied round the waist and attached to the climbing rope, usually by means of a carabiner. More sophisticated harnesses exist in many different patterns, designed to give greater comfort and security, and to provide more options for carrying equipment.Most harnesses are worn round the waist or the top of the legs. Some climbers prefer to use a chest harness, particularly when they are leading a climb.
