<p> '''''dē̇''''' -'''''fı̄''''' ´ ( חרף , <i> '''''ḥāraph''''' </i> , זעם , <i> '''''zā‛am''''' </i> ): In 1 Samuel 17:10 , 1 Samuel 17:25 , 1 Samuel 17:26 , 1 Samuel 17:36 , 1 Samuel 17:45 (the story of [[David]] and Goliath) and kindred passages, this word is used in its most familiar sense - "to taunt," "challenge to combat" (Hebrew <i> '''''ḥāraph''''' </i> ). In Numbers 23:7 , Numbers 23:8 "denounce" would be a better translation than "defy" (Hebrew <i> '''''zā‛am''''' </i> ). </p> | |||

<p> DEFY, </p> <blockquote> 1. To dare to provoke to combat or strife, by appealing to the courage of another to invite one to contest to challenge as, [[Goliath]] defied the armies of Israel. </blockquote> <blockquote> 2. To dare to brave to offer to hazard a conflict by manifesting a contempt of opposition, attack or hostile force as, to defy the arguments of an opponent to defy the power of the magistrate. </blockquote> <p> Were we to abolish the common law, it would rise triumphant above its own ruins, deriding and defying its impotent enemies. </p> <blockquote> 3. To challenge to say or do any thing. </blockquote> <p> DEFY, n. A challenge. </p> | |||
