Forge, Forger
forj, forjer (, taphal): Forgers of lies occurs in Job’s reply to his comforters (Job 13:4; compare Job 14:17); the word is the translation of taphal, to patch, lay on, besmear, hence, to impute, overcharge, etc.; in Psa 119:69, forged occurs with a similar meaning: The proud have forged a lie against me (compare Sirach 51:2). Forger, in the sense of one who forges, makes, anything, is the Revised Version (British and American) rendering of latash, to smite, or hammer, in Gen 4:22 King James Version: Tubal-cain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron, the Revised Version (British and American) the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron, margin an instructor of every artificer of copper and iron.
