TO FEEL, to grope — to find by touch what the eyes cannot. In its simple form it is Isaac feeling Jacob’s hands (Genesis 27:12, already on these pages, suppose my father feels me). ⭐ In its doubled form the verb stands in five verses of the Hebrew Bible: Laban feeling through all the tent for his stolen gods (Genesis 31:34, 37), Deuteronomy 28:29 twice — you will be groping at noon as the blind man gropes in the dark — and Job 5:14 and 12:25 (neither yet on these pages), the first of them Deuteronomy’s own image, they grope at noon as in the night. Let the darkness be felt at Exodus 10:21 (already on these pages) is the same root in a third form. The Geneva reads ‘grope’ and adds, for the verse’s end, ‘be powled evermore’ — polled, shorn like a sheep. → first discussed at Deut 28:29
