  • The Hebrew verb מגר (piel) occurs only here in the OT (cf. Ezek 21:17—מְגוּרֵי אֶל־חֶרֶב). In Aramaic, it means "throw down" or "overthrow" (see CAL). E.g., Ezra 6:12: "May the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow (יְמַגַּר) any king or people who shall put out a hand to alter this" (ESV).
