(מִזְמֵרָה, mazmerah; Sept. δρέπανον; Isaiah 2:4; Isaiah 18:5; Joel 4:10; Micah 4:3), a knife for pruning the vine. The manner of tzrimming the vine (זֵמִר, zamdr), signifying clipping, and also the singular instrument of the vine-dresser, were well known even in the time of Moses (Leviticus 25:3-4), and no doubt both were similar to those employed by the Egyptians. (See KNIFE); (See VINE); (See VINEYARD)).
