Genesis 15:2
And Raised-Father is saying, `My master554 Yahweh, what do you give to-myself, and myself he-walking stripped?555 And a builder of Meshek in my house, himself is Dammeshek El-is-Help.`556
Footnote:
| 556 | Strong’s #461, Eliezer, el is help. The word “meshek” is a rare word only here and as a part of Dammashek, which is related to Damascus. Gesenius opines, “I judge that the sacred writer used meshek, an uncommon word, in order to allude to the word Dammeshek” Gesenius Hebrew Lexicon (1846). Meshek is sometimes interpreted as possession. But the meaning has to do with running/rushing and is used as such (Strong's #4944) for the behavior of locusts. From שקק to rush/seek greedily (cf. Strong's #8624). |
