<p> ( '''''רֶשֶׁ''''' '', Risheph,'' a ''Flame,'' or "coal,'" Song of [[Solomon]] 8:6; hence lightning; fig. for arrow, Psalms 76:3; ''Or, Fever,'' Deuteronomy 32:24). In accordance with thepopular notion, "hot thunderbolts" (Psalm 68:48, '''''רשפי''''' , Sept. '''''Τῷ''''' '''''Πυρί''''' , Vulg. ''Igni'' ) means "lightnings." "Then shall the right-aiming thunderbolts go abroad" "(Wisd. 5, 21), '''''Βολίδες''''' '''''Ἀστραπῶν''''' , "flashes" or "strokes of lightning." "Threw stones like thunderbolts" (2: Macc. 1: 16), '''''Συνεκεραύνωσαν''''' ''.'' The word conveys an allusion to the mode in which lightning strikes the earth. (See [[Lightning]]). </p> | |||
