Bible Question: What or who is the "hornet" mentioned in Deut.7:20? |
Bible Answer: When the plain sense makes good sense... In Deut. 7:20, why not take the word "hornet" literally? When the plain sense makes good sense seek no other sense lest it be nonsense. 'tn The meaning of the term translated “hornets” (tsir’ah) is debated. Various suggestions are “discouragement” (HALOT 1056-57 s.v.; cf. NEB, TEV, CEV “panic”; NCV “terror”) and “leprosy” (J. H. Tigay, Deuteronomy [JPSTC], 360, n. 33; cf. NRSV “the pestilence”), as well as “hornet” (BDB 864 s.v.; cf. NAB, NASB, NIV, NLT). The latter seems most suitable to the verb...shalakh (“send”; cf. Exod 23:28; Josh 24:12).' ____________________ Source: Translators' Footnote at Deut. 7:20 The NET Bible www.bible.org/netbible/index.htm |
