Harness:
(1.) Heb. 'asar, "to bind;" hence the act of fastening animals to a cart (1Sa 6:7,10; Jer 46:4, etc.).
(2.) An Old English word for "armour;" Heb. neshek (2Ch 9:24).
(3.) Heb. shiryan, a coat of mail (1Ki 22:34; 2Ch 18:33; in Isa 59:17).
(4.) The children of Israel passed out of Egypt "harnessed" (Exd 13:18), i.e., in an orderly manner, and as if to meet a foe. The word so rendered is probably a derivative from Hebrew hamesh (i.e., "five"), and may denote that they went up in five divisions, viz., the van, centre, two wings, and rear-guard.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
