 Halt
    lame on the feet (Gen. 32:31; Ps. 38:17). To "halt between two
    opinions" (1 Kings 18:21) is supposed by some to be an
    expression used in "allusion to birds, which hop from spray to
    spray, forwards and backwards." The LXX. render the expression
    "How long go ye lame on both knees?" The Hebrew verb rendered
    "halt" is used of the irregular dance ("leaped upon") around the
    altar (ver. 26). It indicates a lame, uncertain gait, going now
    in one direction, now in another, in the frenzy of wild leaping.
