The Definition of the word Shoe

Shoe

Of various forms, from the mere sandal (q.v.) to the complete covering of the foot. The word so rendered (A.V.) in Deut. "33:25, min'al, "a bar," is derived from a root meaning "to bolt" "or "shut fast," and hence a fastness or fortress. The verse has" "accordingly been rendered "iron and brass shall be thy" "fortress," or, as in the Revised Version, "thy bars [marg.," "shoes] shall be iron and brass."
