Feeble-Minded
Feeble-Minded
feb’l-mnded (, oligopsuchos): Only in 1Th 5:14 the King James Version, in the sense of fainthearted, as in the Revised Version (British and American). In Septuagint it is used as the equivalent of koshel, the tottering or feeble-kneed in Isa 35:3; Isa 54:6; oligopsucha occurs in Septuagint twice (Exo 6:9; Psa 54:7), for anguish of spirit and trouble. The term refers to weakness of will and vacillation of purpose rather than to idiocy or morbid imbecility.
