ESCHEW.In the older Eng. versions of the Bible eschew is common. In AV [Note: Authorized Version.] it occurs only in Job_1:1; Job_1:8; Job_2:3 of Job himself, as Job_1:1 one that feared God, and eschewed evil, and in 1Pe_3:11 Let him eschew evil, and do good. The meaning is turn away from (as RV [Note: Revised Version.] at 1Pe_3:11 and Amer. RV [Note: Revised Version.] everywhere).
