hôlt ( צלע , cāla‛ , "to limp"; χωλός , chōlós , "lame," "crippled"): the American Standard Revised Version in Genesis 32:31 prefers "limped"; in Micah 4:6 , Micah 4:7; Zephaniah 3:19 , "is (or was) lame"; in Luke 14:21 , the American Standard Revised Version and the English Revised Version have "lame." In 1 Kings 18:21 a different word ( pāṣaḥ ) is used in English Versions of the Bible of moral indecision: "How long halt ye between two opinions?" the American Standard Revised Version renders, "How long go ye limping between the two sides?»
