Study

       

13 Spanne die Renner an den Wagen, Bewohnerin von Lachis! Der Anfang der Sünde war es für die Tochter Zion; denn in dir sind die Übertretungen Israels gefunden worden.

Commentary

 

Bald

  
This print, from a medieval French manuscript, shows a relatively bald Elisha cursing the youths as the bears attack. Elijah rides a chariot overhead, having been taken up to heaven shortly before.

'A bald head' signifies the Word deprived of the natural sense, which is the sense of the letter.

(References: 2 Kings 2:23-24; Apocalypse Explained 781)
