Notes:
(1) In Luke 11:35,
KJV
,
, “to look,” is translated “take heed (that),”
RV
,
“look (whether).” (2) Nos. 2 and 3 are used together in Matt. 16:6; Nos. 2 and 1, in that
order, in Mark 8:15; but in Luke 12:15 the
RV
rightly follows No. 2 by “keep yourselves
from” (
$
, “to guard”). (3) For the
RV
of Mark 5:36, “not heeding,” see under
HEAR
, No. 7. (4) In Rom. 11:21 the
KJV
adds “take heed,” because of a variant reading
which introduces the clause by a conjunctive phrase signifying “lest.”
HEEL
(
!$
, 4418) is found in John 13:18, where the Lord quotes from Ps. 41:9;
the metaphor is that of tripping up an antagonist in wrestling.¶ Cf. the verb in Gen. 27:36;
Jer. 9:4; Hos. 12:3.
HEIFER
(
1
, 1151), etymologically “one of fit age to be tamed to the yoke”
(
, “to tame”), occurs in Heb. 9:13, with reference to the “red heifer” of Num. 19.¶
HEIGHT
1.
$
(
>
, 5311), “a summit, top,” is translated “height” in Eph. 3:18, where it
may refer either to “the love of Christ” or to “the fullness of God”; the two are really
inseparable, for they who are filled into the fullness of God thereby enter appreciatively
into the love of Christ, which “surpasseth knowledge”; in Rev. 21:16, of the measurement
of the heavenly Jerusalem. See
ESTATE
,
HIGH
.
2.
$
(
>
, 5313), more concrete than No. 1, is used (a) of “a height,” as a
mountain or anything definitely termed a “height,” Rom. 8:39 (metaphorically); (b) of “a
high thing” lifted up as a barrier or in antagonistic exaltation, 2 Cor. 10:5. See
HIGH
.¶ Cf.
$
, “to exalt.”
