A dark or hidden saying, as that which Samson put forth respecting the carcase of the lion, Judges 14:12-19; and that of Ezekiel concerning the great eagle, but this is also called a 'parable.' Ezekiel 17:2 . The word is chidah, and is also translated 'dark saying, sentence, speech,' 'hard question,' and once 'proverb.'
