Sol. The word in the Text is very pregnant, and greatly significant: Primum imbue; give the first dip, dye, tincture, seasoning. Hence by a Metaphor the word is diversly translated. Initia, so Ar-Mouth. Begin, or give the first instruction; lay the ground-work, foundation, or first stone. Deduc. So Chald. Paraph. Vers. Instrue. Set in order or array, arm, train up, instruct. Thus Abraham armed, or led forth his trained or instructed servants, Gen. 14.14. The word is also translated Dedicavit, Consecravit; i. e. to set a person or thing apart, and to devote it to the true God in a right manner, for holy uses and ends, with solemn prayer and praise. Thus the word [Greek or Hebrew] is used Deut. 20.5.
