Boot

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

boot ( סאן , ṣe'ōn ; the King James Version battle; the American Standard Revised Version "armor"; the American Revised Version, margin "boot"): The word ṣe'ōn , found only in Isaiah 9:5 ( Hebrews 9:4 ), is probably a loanword from the Assyrian šênu , meaning "shoe," "sandal." The root has the same meaning in Aramaic and Ethiopic. The passage should be translated "every boot of the booted warrior.»
