Comp. ויהיו לנם, καὶ ἐγενήθησαν ἐν σημείῳ (said of Korah and his company), and they became a sign, Num 26:10. The signification of the verb ΠΑΡΑΔΕΙΓΜΑΤΊΖΕΙΝ is akin to this. It may be done to others either by letters, if they are in a foreign land, or face to face, if present. This diversity of circumstances does not alter the meaning.-ἽΝΑ ἘΝΤΡΑΠῇ) that, having seen the judgment of others (respecting him), he may humble himself [be ashamed, Engl. Vers.]. נכנעו they humbled themselves, 2Ch 12:7.
