Theological / Devotional

Sword. The meaning of the Hebrew word thus translated is not clear. It comes from a root meaning “to murder,” “to kill.” It occurs elsewhere only in Eze. 21:22, where it is translated “slaughter.” The LXX renders the opening sentence of Ps. 42:10 “while my bones are crushed, my persecutors reproach me.”

They say. See v. 3; cf. Joel 2:17; Micah 7:10.
