Change (Hastings' Dictionary)

1. See Change of Raiment; and notice that the sing, is used for the pi. in Jg J 412. 13. 19 'thirty change of garments' (RV 'changes'). The Heb. word (ns-^n) there and else- where used in ' change ' of raiment is found in three difficult passages : Job 10" ' changes and war are against me,' which may mean 'relays 'of soldiers as in 1 K 5'*, but see Davidson iji loc. In Job 14'^ ' all the days of my appointed time will I wait till my c. come,' the meaning is clearly ' release' from the worry of life, as the soldier is released when his watch is over. But in Ps 55'" ' who have no changes, and who fear not God,' this meaning, if possible, is not so easy. See Ox/. Heb. Lex. s.v. 2. In Lv 27'^ ' if he c. it at all, then both it and the c. thereof shall be holj',' c. =exchange (.tiidp, RV ' that for which it is changed '). Cf . Hey wood (1562), 'Chaunge is no robry, but robry niaketh chaunge.' 3. Wis 14-' ' changing of kind ' (-ytviaeuis ifaWayr), RV 'confusion of sex'), i. Changeable in Is 3" ' the c. suits of apparel,' means that may be changed ; Cheyne, state dresses, named in Heb. from their being put off when the occasion for their use was over. 5. Changer.
