It appears in various contexts throughout the Scriptures, illustrating both physical infirmity and spiritual indecision or wavering.<br><br><b>Physical Lameness:</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, "halt" is frequently used to describe physical lameness. For example, in <a href="/genesis/32-31.htm">Genesis 32:31</a>, after Jacob wrestles with the angel, it is noted, "The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel, and he was limping because of his hip." This physical halting is a result of the divine encounter, symbolizing both a physical and spiritual transformation in Jacob's life.<br><br>Similarly, in <a href="/2_samuel/4-4.htm">2 Samuel 4:4</a>, Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, is described as "lame in both feet" due to an accident in his childhood. His condition of being "halt" serves as a backdrop to the narrative of David's kindness and covenant faithfulness to the house of Saul.<br><br><b>Metaphorical Usage:</b><br><br>The term "halt" is also used metaphorically to describe spiritual indecision or a lack of commitment. In <a href="/1_kings/18-21.htm">1 Kings 18:21</a>, the prophet Elijah challenges the Israelites, saying, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal is God, follow him." Here, the word "waver" is akin to being spiritually "halt," indicating a state of indecision and lack of faithfulness to God.<br><br>This metaphorical use underscores the importance of spiritual decisiveness and commitment. The call to choose between God and false idols is a recurring theme in the Bible, emphasizing the need for wholehearted devotion to the Lord.<br><br><b>New Testament References:</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the concept of being "halt" is addressed in the context of Jesus' healing ministry. In <a href="/luke/14-21.htm">Luke 14:21</a>, in the Parable of the Great Banquet, the master instructs his servant, "Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame." The inclusion of the "lame" or "halt" in the invitation to the banquet symbolizes the inclusive nature of God's kingdom, where physical infirmities do not bar one from receiving God's grace and salvation.<br><br><b>Spiritual Implications:</b><br><br>The biblical use of "halt" serves as a powerful reminder of both human frailty and the need for divine intervention. Whether referring to physical lameness or spiritual indecision, the term highlights the necessity of relying on God's strength and guidance. The healing of the "halt" by Jesus in the Gospels further illustrates His authority over physical and spiritual ailments, offering hope and restoration to those who are willing to follow Him.<br><br>In summary, the concept of "halt" in the Bible encompasses both physical and spiritual dimensions, calling believers to seek healing and wholeness through faith in God.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Lame on the feet (<a href="/genesis/32-31.htm">Genesis 32:31</a>; <a href="/psalms/38-17.htm">Psalm 38:17</a>). To "halt between two opinions" (<a href="/1_kings/18-21.htm">1 Kings 18:21</a>) is supposed by some to be an expression used in "allusion to birds, which hop from spray to spray, forwards and backwards." The LXX. render the expression "How long go ye lame on both knees?" The Hebrew verb rendered "halt" is used of the irregular dance ("leaped upon") around the altar (ver. 26). It indicates a lame, uncertain gait, going now in one direction, now in another, in the frenzy of wild leaping. <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
