thorns. Mic 7:4

taught. Heb. made to know.Instead of {wyyodâ,} Houbigant, Le Clerc, and others read {wyyadosh,} "and he tore or threshed;" and this is not only agreeable to what Gideon threatened (ver. 7), but is supported by the LXX. Vulgate, Chaldee, Syriac, and Arabic. The Hebrew text might easily have been corrupted simply by the change of [Shîyn,] {shin,} into ['Ayin,] {ayin,} letters very similar to each other.
