(צֶלִע, χωλός ), lame on the feet or legs (Genesis 32:31; Psalms 38:17; Jeremiah 20:10; Micah 4:6; Micah 7:1; Zephaniah 3:19). Many persons who were halt were cured by our Lord. (See LAME).To halt between two opinions (כָּסִח 1 Kings 18:21), should, perhaps, be to stagger from one to the other repeatedly; but some say it is an allusion to birds, who hop from spray to spray, forwards and backwards, as the contrary influence of supposed convictions vibrated the mind in alternate affirmation and doubtfulness.
