Thoughts And Things Of The Bible -- Carriage
In
the Authorized Version the word "carriage" is found as the
rendering of many different words. In Judg. 18:21 it means valuables,
wealth, or booty. In Isa. 46:1 (R.V., "the things that ye carried
about") the word means a load for a beast of burden. In 1 Sam.
17:22 and Isa. 10:28 it is the rendering of a word ("stuff" in
1 Sam. 10:22) meaning implements, equipments, baggage. The phrase in
Acts 21:15, "We took up our carriages," means properly,
"We packed up our baggage," as in the Revised Version. In the
margin of (1 Samuel 17:20) and 1Sam 26:5-7 And there only,
"carriage" is employed in the sense of a wagon or cart.
