(חתת, ḥāthath): The Hebrew term ḥāthath means “broken,” “terrified” or “dismayed.” This term as it occurs in is rendered “chapt” in English Versions of the Bible, “cracked” in the American Standard Revised Version, and “dismayed” in the Revised Version, margin. Inasmuch as the Hebrew term means “broken,” it is not incorrectly rendered “chapt” or “chapped,” which means to be cracked Open.
