Contextual Overview
19 "Did you give the horse its strength? Did you clothe its neck with a mane? 20 Did you make him able to leap like a locust? Its majestic snorting is frightening! 21 It paws with force and exults with vigor, then charges into the battle; 22 mocking at fear, unafraid, it does not shy away from the sword. 23 The [rider's] quiver rattles over it, [his] gleaming spear and javelin. 24 Frenzied and eager, it devours the ground, scarcely believing the shofar has sounded. 25 At the sound of the shofar it whinnies; as from afar it scents the battle, the roar of the chiefs and the shouting.

neither turneth he back from the sword; the naked sword, when it is drawn against him, and ready to be thrust into him; the horse being so bold and courageous was with the Egyptians a symbol of courage and boldness v.
