<p> (צָחִק, ''Tsachak,'' Exodus 32:6). This word, in addition to the sense of joking or sporting ( Genesis 19:14), may also be understood of amusements, accompanied with music and singing, in which sense it may be understood in Judges 16:25. Though we have no particular mention in the Old Testament of such matters, we may reasonably suppose that some of the games practiced by the ancient [[Egyptians]] were likewise known to the Hebrews; these appear, from the monuments, to have been mock combats, races, gymnastic exercises, singing, dancing and games of chance (Wilkinson, Anc. Egyptians, 1, 189 sq.). In the declining period of [[Jewish]] history the athletic games of the [[Greeks]] were introduced and there were gymnasia, or schools of exercise in Jerusalem, where they practiced wrestling, racing, quoits, etc. (1 [[Maccabees]] 5, 16; 1 Maccabees 2 Mance. 4:13-15). For the [[Grecian]] games of strength and skill so often alluded to by Paul, (See Games). (See [[Sport]]). </p> | <p> ( '''''צָחִק''''' , ''Tsachak,'' Exodus 32:6).
