<< Genesis 27:2

Genesis 27:4 >>

Genesis 27:3

Thy weapons - The original word keley signifies vessels and instruments of any kind; and is probably used here for a hunting spear, javelin, sword, etc.

Quiver - teli , from talah , to hang or suspend. Had not the Septuagint translated the word , and the Vulgate pharetram , a quiver, I should rather have supposed some kind of shield was meant; but either can be suspended on the arm or from the shoulder. Some think a sword is meant; and because the original signifies to hang or suspend, hence they think is derived our word hanger, so called because it is generally worn in a pendent posture; but the word hanger did not exist in our language previously to the Crusades, and we have evidently derived it from the Persian khanjar , a poniard or dagger, the use of which, not only in battles, but in private assassinations, was well known.
