ej : Very frequently occurs in the phrase "the edge of the sword" (Joshua 10:28 , et al.) from the Hebrew פה , peh , "lip," or שפה , sāphāh , "lip." Exodus 28:7 and Exodus 39:4 read "ends," from קצה , ḳācāh , "end" (the King James Version "edge"), and Joshua 13:27 has "uttermost part" for the same Hebrew word (the King James Version "edge").
