SORD
This thing shows up in Genesis 31:26: “Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword?” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 31:26
“Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword?”
