hrowe

Hrowe refers to a specific instance of the word "harrow" as it appears in the King James Version of the Bible. The word "harrow" is an agricultural tool used to break up and level soil after plowing. In its biblical context, "harrow" is often used metaphorically to describe intense suffering, destruction, or the tearing apart of something.

The word "hrowe" specifically appears in the book of Job, chapter 30, verse 14, of the King James Version. In this verse, Job is lamenting his terrible suffering and describes his condition as if he has been broken apart. The King James Version translates this as "They break up my path with the stroke of their engines: they raise up against me the *hrowe*." Modern translations often render this phrase differently, using terms like "ruin," "destruction," or "assault" to convey the sense of overwhelming hardship. The word "hrowe" itself is an archaic or poetic rendering, reflecting the linguistic style of the King James Version. Understanding "hrowe" requires recognizing its origin within a specific translation and its metaphorical use to signify severe distress and devastation.
