<p> '''''blud´i''''' ( דּם , <i> '''''dām''''' </i> = "blood" of man or an animal; and where the King James translators have rendered with the adjective "bloody," the [[Hebrew]] employs the noun in the construct case, "of blood"): "A bridegroom of blood" ( Exodus 4:25 , Exodus 4:26 , the King James Version bloody husband ). Zipporah, not being an Israelite, probably objected to the circumcision of infants, if not to the rite altogether; apprehending, however, that her husband's life was imperiled possibly through some grievous sickness ( Exodus 4:24 ) because of their disobedience in this particular, she performed the ceremony herself upon her son, saying, "A bridegroom of blood art thou to me." </p> <p> In the Revised Version (British and American) the expression (the King James Version "bloody") is variously rendered, "man of blood" ( 2 Samuel 16:7 , 2 Samuel 16:8 ); "men of blood" ( [[Psalm]] 26:9 ); "bloodthirsty" ( Psalm 5:6; Psalm 59:2; Psalm 139:19 ).

[[Nineveh]] also is called "the bloody city" ( Nahum 3:1 ). The capital here virtually stands for the kingdom, and history bears witness to the enormous cruelties perpetrated by the [[Assyrian]] rulers. It is siege on siege, pools of blood everywhere, the flaying of men alive, "great baskets stuffed with the salted heads of their foes." For two hundred years it is th e story of brute force and ruthless cruelty. "The prey departeth not." And now every cruelty which they have visited upon others is to be turned upon themselves ( Nahum 3:19 ). </p>
