shake Isa 3:26 51:23 Jer 51:6,45,50 Zec 2:6 Re 18:4

arise. The common mode of sitting in the East is upon the floor, with the legs crossed; and when sitting is spoken of as a posture of more than ordinary state, it means sitting on high, on a chair of state, or throne. loose Isa 49:21 51:14 61:1 Lu 4:18 21:24
