* with blindness.
The word {sanverim,} rendered "blindness," and which occurs
only here, and in 2; Ki 6:18, is supposed to denote dazzlings,
deceptions, or confusions of sight from excessive light; being
derived by Schultens, who is followed by Parkhurst, from the
Arabic {sana,} to pour forth, diffuse, and nor, light. Dr.
Geddes, to the same purpose, thinks it is compounded of the
Arabic {sana,} which signifies a flash, and or, light. The
Targums, in both places where it occurs, render it by
eruptions, or flashes of light, or as Mercer, in Robertson,
explains the Chaldee word, irradiations.
