$@
(

, 2659), “a pricking” (akin to
$
, “to strike” or “prick
violently,” Acts 2:37), is used in Rom. 11:8,
RV
, “stupor” (
KJV
, “slumber”). It is
suggested that this meaning arose from the influence of the verb
$
, “to nod” or
“fall asleep” (Field,

). Evidently what is signified is
the dulling of the spiritual sense.¶ In the Sept., Ps. 60:3; Isa. 29:10.¶
SUBDUE
