International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [2]

gōr ( נגח , nāghaḥ ): "Gore" occurs only three times in the King James Version, namely,   Exodus 21:28 ,  Exodus 21:31 bis , "if an ox gore a man or a woman," etc.; in  Exodus 21:29 ,  Exodus 21:32 ,  Exodus 21:36 , the King James Version has "push" (with his horn), the Revised Version (British and American) "gore." The same verb in Piel and HithpaeI is elsewhere translated "push" and "pushing" ( Deuteronomy 33:17 , "He shall push the peoples," the Revised Version, margin "gore";  1 Kings 22:11;  Psalm 44:5;  Ezekiel 34:21;  Daniel 8:4;  Daniel 11:40 , the Revised Version (British and American) "contend," margin "Hebrew push at," as an ox pushes with his horns so should the king fight - a fitting description of warfare).
