Subjects in this Topic:
ring´streÌ„kt (the King James Version and the English Revised Version ringstraked): , , ; (twice), 10, 12 for עקד, ‛aÌ„kÌ£oÌ„dh. In the context of , etc., ‛aÌ„kÌ£oÌ„dh certainly denotes defective coloring of some sort, but the exact meaning of the word is uncertain. The translation “ringstreaked†(“marked with circular bandsâ€) comes from connecting the word with the Hebrew root ‛kÌ£d, “to bind†(), but this connection is dubious.
