Phrase of Scripture   Correlating Passages TSK Help

the elders   Jdg 8:7; Pro 10:13; Pro 19:29; Ezr 2:6
thorns   Mic 7:4
taught   "Heb. made to know. Instead of wyyodâ, Houbigant, Le Clerc, and others read wyyadosh, ""and he tore or threshed;"" and this is not only agreeable to what Gideon threatened (Jdg 8:7), but is supported by the LXX. Vulgate, Chaldee, Syriac, and Arabic. The Hebrew text might easily have been corrupted simply by the change of [Shîyn] shin, into ['Ayin] ayin, letters very similar to each other."
