han'-d'-l (kaph): The noun occurs once inSo 5:5, "handles of the bolt" (the King James Version "lock"). The verb "handle" represents several Hebrew ('achaz, mashakh, taphas, etc.) and Greek (thiggano,Col 2:21; pselaphao,Lu 24:39;1 Joh 1:1) words in the King James Version, but is also sometimes substituted in the Revised Version (British and American) for other renderings in the King James Version, as inSo 3:8for "hold"; inLu 20:11, "handled shamefully," for "entreated shamefully"; in2Ti 2:15, "handling aright," for "rightly dividing," etc.
