gōr ( נגח , nāghaḥ ): "Gore" occurs only three times in the King James Version, namely, Exodus 21:28 , Exodus 21:31 bis , "if an ox gore a man or a woman," etc.; in Exodus 21:29 , Exodus 21:32 , Exodus 21:36 , the King James Version has "push" (with his horn), the Revised Version (British and American) "gore." The same verb in Piel and HithpaeI is elsewhere translated "push" and "pushing" (Deuteronomy 33:17 , "He shall push the peoples," the Revised Version, margin "gore"; 1 Kings 22:11; Psalm 44:5; Ezekiel 34:21; Daniel 8:4; Daniel 11:40 , the Revised Version (British and American) "contend," margin "Hebrew push at," as an ox pushes with his horns so should the king fight - a fitting description of warfare).
The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE) was edited by James Orr, John Nuelsen, Edgar Mullins, Morris Evans, and Melvin Grove Kyle and was published complete in 1939. This web site includes the complete text.
WikipediaThe ISBE is a classic Bible reference compiled from nearly 10,000 entries written by over 200 different Bible scholars and teachers. In addition to the encyclopedia articles, all of the major words of the Bible are represented and defined.
The historical, cultural, and linguistic information in the ISBE can be of great value in Bible study and research.
But as with any writings of men, the careful student of the Bible must always compare them with Scripture. As you use this helpful study resource, remember that only God's word is pure.
