Flint: Abounds in all the plains and valleys of the wilderness of the forty
years' wanderings. In
(Isaiah 50:7; Ezekiel 3:9) the expressions, where
the word is used, means that the "Messiah would be firm and resolute
amidst all contempt and scorn which he would meet; that he had made
up his mind to endure it, and would not shrink from any kind or
degree of suffering which would be necessary to accomplish the great
work in which he was engaged." (Comp.)
(Ezekiel 3:8,9) The words "like a
flint" are used with reference to the hoofs of horses
(Isaiah 5:28)
