CHALLENGE.To challenge in the language of AV [Note: Authorized Version.] is to claim, as in Goldings tr. [Note: translate or translation.] of Calvins Job, p. 578; Iob neuer went about to challenge such perfection, as to have no sinne in him. The word occurs in Exo_22:9, in the heading of Is 45 By his omnipotency he challengeth obedience; and in Job_3:5 AVm [Note: Authorized Version margin.] .

chal?enj: Only in Exo_22:9, where the King James Version has taken Hebrew 'āmar, ?say,? in the sense of ?claim.? the Revised Version (British and American) ?whereof one saith, This is it,? points more definitely to the idea of identification of the stolen personal property.
