Subjects in this Topic:
ESCHEW.—In the older Eng. versions of the Bible ‘eschew’ is common. In AV [Note: Authorized Version.] it occurs only in Job_1:1; Job_1:8; Job_2:3 of Job himself, as Job_1:1 ‘one that feared God, and eschewed evil,’ and in 1Pe_3:11 ‘Let him eschew evil, and do good.’ The meaning is ‘turn away from’ (as RV [Note: Revised Version.] at 1Pe_3:11 and Amer. RV [Note: Revised Version.] everywhere).
