The word parôth , rendered revenges , a sense in which it never seems to be used , has rendered this passage very obscure. As the word paira signifies the hair of the head , both in Hebrew and Arabic , Mr. Parkhurst and others render mairosh parôth , "from the hairy head;" but to have this sense , the words should rather have been mipparôth rosh , according the Hebrew idiom. The word farôu , in Arabic , however , also denotes a prince or chief; and the words may be literally rendered , with the LXX , בנן ךוצבכחע בסקןםפשם וקטסשם , "from the head of the chiefs of the enemies."
