Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

מְכֵרָה (with Tzere impure) f. once plur. מְכֵרוֹת, [“perhaps”] swords, so called from piercing through (Gr. μάχαιρα), see the root כוּר No. I.; hence, Genesis 49:5, כְּלֵי חָמָס מְכֵרֹתֵיהֶם “weapons of outrage (are) their swords.” Jerome, arma eorum. This interpretation has been advanced by Jewish writers, amongst others by R. Eliezer, in Pirke Avoth, c. 38, יעקב קלל את חרכם בלשון יונית “Jacob cursed their sword (that of Levi and Simeon) in the Greek language.” But we must not, however, contemn the opinion of L. de Dieu, in Critica Sacra ad h. l., and of Ludolf, in Lex. Eth. p. 87, who, by a comparison with the Arab. مكر to plot, to devise, and መከሩ፡ to consult, ምክር፡ counsel, translate the word wicked counsels, devices; and this is not hindered by the Tzere [not] being pure, see Lehrg. p. 595.
