ambassadors . The word tzir , an ambassador , properly denotes a hinge; because an ambassador is a person upon whom the business turns as upon a hinge. So the Latin Cardinalis , from cardo , a hinge , was the title of the prime minister of the emperor Theodosius , though now applied only to the Pope's electors and counsellors.
wine bottles . These bottles being made of skin , were consequently liable to be rent , and capable of being mended; which is done , according to Chardin , by putting in a piece , or by gathering up the wounded piece in the manner of a purse; and sometimes by inserting a flat piece of wood.

cursed . This may refer to the original curse pronounced against the descendants of Canaan . both of them seem to have implied nothing else than perpetual slavery. The Gibeonites were brought , no doubt , under tribute; performed the meanest offices for the Israelites; being in the same condition as the servile class of Hindoos , called the Chetrees; had their national importance annihilated , and yet were never permitted to incorporate themselves with the Israelites.

hewers . In the East , collecting wood for fuel , and carrying water , are the peculiar employment of females. The Arab women of Barbary , and the daughters of the Turcomans , are thus employed. Hence Mr. Harmer concludes , that the bitterness of the doom of the Gibeonites does not seem to have consisted in the labouriousness of the service enjoined them , but its disgracing them from the characteristic employment of men , that of bearing arms , and condemning them and their posterity for ever to the employment of females.
