International Standard Bible Encyclopedia SETTLE (1)set'-'-l (`azarah): For this word in Ezekiel 43:14, 17, 20; Ezekiel 45:19, the American Standard Revised Version and the English Revised Version margin substitute more correctly "ledge." SETTLE (2) The Hebrew language has 8 words which are thus translated: yashabh, nachath, `amadh, shaqat, tabha`, natsabh, maqom, qapha'. Now the meaning is to settle down, to cause to occur (Ezekiel 36:11 the King James Version; 1 Chronicles 17:14); then it denotes fixedness (2 Kings 8:11 Psalm 119:89 Proverbs 8:25); again it points to a condition of absolute quiescence, as the settlings on the lees (Jeremiah 48:11); and in still another place it means packing solidly together (Psalm 65:10). In the New Testament the words hedraios, themelioo, and tithemi, have been translated "settle." the Revised Version (British and American) in 1 Peter 5:10 has translated "establish," and the context unquestionably points to the idea of a fixed establishment in the faith. In Luke 21:14 the word translated "settle" evidently points to a fixed determination. Greek 4868. sunairo -- to take up together, ie settle accounts ... to take up together, ie settle accounts.
