Yosua 9:4
TSK | Full Life Study Bible |
akal pura-pura ... akal(TB)/dipakainya akal pura-pura(TL) <06195 06213> [work wilily.] bekal(TB)/utusan(TL) <06737> [ambassadors.] The word {tzir,} an ambassador, properly denotes a hinge; because an ambassador is a person upon whom the business turns as upon a hinge. So the Latin {Cardinalis,} from {cardo,} a hinge, was the title of the prime minister of the emperor Theodosius, though now applied only to the Pope's electors and counsellors. kirbat kirbat(TB)/kirbat ... air anggur(TL) <04997 03196> [wine bottles.] These bottles being made of skin, were consequently liable to be rent, and capable of being mended; which is done, according to Chardin, by putting in a piece, or by gathering up the wounded piece in the manner of a purse; and sometimes by inserting a flat piece of wood. |
