ne.sikh denotes high-ranking male leaders, including named Midianite figures and northern leaders among the slain.

The attested uses identify plural high-ranking male figures: named Midianite leaders connected with Sihon in Joshua 13:21 and leaders of the north who have gone down with the slain in Ezekiel 32:30. Its specific contribution is not isolated by the APB wording in Micah 5:4 or Psalm 83:12.

Senses in use

  1. High-ranking male leaders · dominant

    All four tokens are tagged as masculine plural construct nouns. In Joshua 13:21 the form stands with the named Midianite figures Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, whom the APB presents as “vassals of Sihon”; in Ezekiel 32:30 the APB explicitly renders the group as “the princes of the north” among those who went down with the slain. In Micah 5:4 and Psalm 83:12, the supplied APB clauses do not isolate the term's contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly has “princes of the north” in Ezekiel 32:30 and presents the named figures in Joshua 13:21 as “vassals of Sihon.” Its clauses in Micah 5:4 and Psalm 83:12 do not show a specific English rendering for the term.
