Heap (to)
Heap (to)
“to heap one thing on another,” is said “heaping” coals of fire on the head, Rom 12:20 (for the meaning see COALS); in 2Ti 3:6 it is used metaphorically of women “laden” (or overwhelmed) with sins. See LADEN. In the Sept. Pro 25:22.
“to heap upon” or “together” (epi, “upon,” and No. 1), is used metaphorically in 2Ti 4:3 of appropriating a number of teachers to suit the liking of those who do so. The reference may be to those who, like the Athenians, run about to hear and follow those who proclaim new ideas of their own invention.
