The word signifies not only storms and tempests, but likewise,1 A little hair or twined thread. So the Chaldee Paraphrast translates it here, He disputes or contends with me to a hair, or to a thread; making the sense out thus, I will not believe that God hath answered me; why? He standeth with me upon the smallest matters; he disputes with me to a hair, and debates every thing to a thread. As Abraham said to the King of Sodom, (Gen. 14.23.) I will not take any thing that is thine from a thread even to a shoe-latchet; that is, I will not make the smallest gain by thee: So to dispute to a hair, or to a thread, notes contending upon or about the smallest differences.
The word signifies not only storms and tempests, but likewise,1 A little hair or twined threed. So the Chaldee Paraphrast translates it here, He disputes or contends with me to a hair, or to a threed; making the sense out thus, I will not believe that God hath answered me; why? He standeth with me upon the smallest matters; he disputes with me to a hair, and debates every thing to a threed. As Abraham said to the King of Sodome, (Gen. 14.23.) I will not take any thing that is thine from a threed even to a shoe-latchet; that is, I will not make the smallest gain by thee: So to dispute to a hair, or to a threed, notes contending upon or about the smallest differences.
