AMPLIFIED 2015 | Numbers 24:9 "He bowed down [to rest], he lies down as a lion; And as a lioness, who dares to rouse him? Blessed [of God] is he who blesses you, And cursed [of God] is he who curses you." [Matt 25:40] |
Bible Question: Shouldn't it read "crouched" instead of "couches?" I paid a fortune for my Bible and I'd hate to think there is a typo in it! |
Bible Answer: EmmyJo If you look on an on-line dictionary, you will find that "couched" is a word! :-) It means something similar to "crouched" to be honest but it is a word in its own right. I checked it up online and came up with the following definitions (among many others): "to crouch; bend; stoop". "to lie in ambush or in hiding; lurk" So, in summary - I don't think your expensive Bible has a typo! David |
