bandage, splint; a wrapping to support or heal a broken limb
This noun means 'bandage' or 'splint,' appearing in Ezekiel 30:21 in a prophecy against Egypt. God declares he has broken Pharaoh's arm and 'it has not been bound up with a bandage' to heal. The image of an untreated fracture symbolizes Egypt's military collapse without hope of recovery. The medical metaphor underscores the permanence of divine judgment.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Ezekiel 30:21 uses medical imagery: God has broken Pharaoh's arm, 'and behold, it has not been bound up to heal it, with a bandage to bind it.' The lack of bandaging means no healing or restoration is possible. The Hebrew term appears only here, denoting the cloth or splint applied to a fracture. Cross-language glosses—Spanish 'venda,' French 'bandage,' English 'bandage'—all identify this medical support, emphasizing Egypt's untreated wound. 1×
