| 1116 | Tamed/Taught Ones Strong’s #441, aluph. Tamed, taught. Refers to an intimate friend (Prov. 16:28, 17:9, Micah 7:5), an ox (as tamed in a yoke) and especially of the builders of the Esau here, the “Edomites”. Often assumed (and translated) here to be “chief” but this is not the word. Curiously similar to the idea of “disciple”. See Gesenius. |
