Diminish (ISBE)

DIC dictionary-entry · status:draft · license:PD

di -min´ish : the Revised Version (British and American) has retained nearly all passages of the King James Version where "to diminish" is used. Some of these uses have become obsolete: Deuteronomy 4:2 , "neither shall ye diminish from it." "Diminish" generally means "to reduce," "to lessen." In this sense it is employed in Ezekiel 5:11 from the Hebrew גּרע , gārȧ‛ , literally, "to shear." The picture of shearing the beard, expressing degradation and loss of manhood, may underlie this passage.
