Dict: easton - Shoe



easton:



Shoe @ Of various forms, from the mere sandal (q.v.) to the complete covering of the foot. The word so rendered (A.V.) in kjv@Deuteronomy:33:25, min'al, "a bar," is derived from a root meaning "to bolt" or "shut fast," and hence a fastness or fortress. The verse has accordingly been rendered "iron and brass shall be thy fortress," or, as in the Revised Version, "thy bars [marg., "shoes"] shall be iron and brass."
