Phrase of Scripture   Correlating Passages TSK Help

with blindness   "The word sanverim, rendered ""blindness,"" and which occurs only here, and in 2Ki 6:18, is supposed to denote dazzlings, deceptions, or confusions of sight from excessive light; being derived by Schultens, who is followed by Parkhurst, from the Arabic sana, to pour forth, diffuse, and nor, light. Dr. Geddes, to the same purpose, thinks it is compounded of the Arabic sana, which signifies a flash, and or, light. The Targums, in both places where it occurs, render it by eruptions, or flashes of light, or as Mercer, in Robertson, explains the Chaldee word, irradiations. 2Ki 6:18; Act 13:11"
that they   Ecc 10:15; Isa 57:10; Jer 2:36
