Tortmah

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature

(Heb. Tormah', תָּרְמָה , deceit; Sept. ἐν κρυφῆ 5. pr. μετὰ δώρων;. Vulg. clam) occurs only in the margin of-Judges 9:31, as the alternative rendering of the Hebrew word which in the text is given as "privily." By a few commentators it has been conjectured that the word was originally the same with Arumah (q.v.) in Judges 9:41 one or the other having been corrupted by the copyists. This appears to have been first started by Kimchi. It is adopted by Junius and Tremellius; but there is little to be said either for or against it, and it will probably always remain a mere conjecture.
