This Hebrew word is a hard word to account for and connect with the scope. Gesenius, &c., take it as "draw out," or "unsheath" like a sword from its scabbard. Gesenius owns, however, that Schnurrer’s suggestion is not to be despised, who takes it as an abridged Hebrew word, with the sense of "demand," as in Luke 12:20“But God said unto him, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared?” (Luke 12:20).
