 * Swear.
 # 24:3|
 * And Israel bowed.
   As {shachah,} which primarily signifies to bow, denotes also
   to worship; and as {mittah,} a bed, pronounced {matteh,} is a
   staff; the LXX. have taken the passage in the latter sense,
   and rendered it [kai prosekun(8273)en Israel epi to akron t(8273)
   rabdou autou,] "and Israel worshipped upon the top of his
   staff," which is literally copied by the apostle Paul, in his
   Epistle to the Hebrews.  The present reading is, however,
   supported by the Masoretic pointing and the Targums; and is
   most probably correct, as it would appear that Jacob was
   confined to his bed.
