<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> | |||
