handle, hilt; the grip portion of a sword where the blade is fixed
This noun appears in Judges 3:22 in the dramatic account of Ehud's assassination of King Eglon. After Ehud thrusts his sword into the obese king, even the handle goes in after the blade. The term comes from a root meaning to stand or set, referring to the part where the blade is set or fixed. Arabic cognates confirm this refers specifically to the handle or hilt. This graphic detail emphasizes both the length of Ehud's blade and the king's corpulence—the entire weapon disappeared into the wound.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — The handle or hilt of a sword, the part grasped by the hand. In Judges 3:22, this refers to the grip portion that followed the blade into King Eglon's body. The multilingual glosses consistently indicate 'handle'/'empuñadura', though some transliterate the rare Hebrew term. The Arabic parallel نِصَابٌ meaning 'knife handle in which the shank is set' confirms the technical vocabulary of weaponry. 1×
