7<\/strong>. We have dealt very corruptly<\/em> ] The words in the original occasion some difficulty. There is however no connexion, as commentators have supposed, between the Hebrew words used here and a similar root meaning ‘a pledge.’ The Vulgate, adopting a different derivation, has ‘vanitate seducti sumus.’ The LXX. rendering and that of a few MSS. (Field’s Orig. Hex.) show the uncertainty as to the meaning. Elsewhere in the O.T. the word occurs in Job 17:1<\/span>; Isa 13:5<\/span>; Isa 32:7<\/span>; Isa 54:16<\/span>; Pro 13:13<\/span>; Mic 2:10<\/span>; Son 2:15<\/span>. The substantive derived from the root here used is rendered ‘hurt’ Dan 6:23<\/span>.

In Joshua it occurs with great frequency (e.g. Jos 1:1-2<\/span>; Jos 1:7<\/span>; Jos 1:13<\/span>, &c.). Elsewhere it is found in 1Ki 8:53 ; 1Ki 8:56<\/span>; 2Ki 18:12<\/span>; 2Ki 21:8 ; 2Ch 1:3<\/span>; Psa 105:26<\/span>; Mal 4:4<\/span>.

Cf. in the New Testament the description of Moses as the ‘faithful servant’ in Heb 3:2-5<\/span>, and Rev 15:3<\/span>. The LXX.
