Genesis 19:17
And he is becoming as their causing to go out אֶת-them the Outside-ward, that he is saying, `Escape upon your breath; do not cause to look your back, and do not set-upright in the whole of the Round.675 Escape the Mountain-ward, lest you are being swept-up.`676
Footnote:
| 676 | Swept-up (saphah, #5595). In a deeply poetic prophecy, the head is shaved and the beard is swept up—an obvious symbol of the masculine class: In the Hot-one of That-one, the master is shaving in a sheath [a.k.a. sword] of the Hired, in a region-beyond the river, in a king of Straight, אֶת-the Head and hair of the Feet; and also he is sweeping-up [saphah] אֶת-the Beard.” Isaiah 7:20 literal The ideas are interchangeable—catch-up, shave-up, sweep-up. |
