Luke 1:20
will be silent <2071 4623> [thou shalt.]
will be silent <4623> [dumb.]
[Siopao <\\See definition 4623\\>,] silent; for in this case, though there was no natural imperfection or debility of the organs of speech, as in dumbness, yet, thou shalt not be able to speak. This was at once a proof of the severity and mercy of God: of severity, in condemning him to nine months' silence for his unbelief; of mercy, in rendering his punishment temporary, and the means of making others rejoice in the events predicted.
because <473> [because.]
which <3748> [which.]
