Subject: What does Lo-debar mean in Hebrew? |
Bible Note: MKM9 Jeremiah seems to suggest there is by asking this rethorical question Jeremiah 8:22 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered? But it appears to be ineffective. And later the same prophet suggests that maybe still more was needed. Jeremiah 46:11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured. By the way there is no statement in the Bible referencing an a "the Balm of Gilead." other than these two. :-) EdB |
