Gore

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia by James Orr (ed.) (1915)

gōr (נגח, nāghaḥ): “Gore” occurs only three times in the King James Version, namely, Exo 21:28, Exo 21:31 bis, “if an ox gore a man or a woman,” etc.; in Exo 21:29, Exo 21:32, Exo 21:36, the King James Version has “push” (with his horn), the Revised Version (British and American) “gore.” The same verb in Piel and HithpaeI is elsewhere translated “push” and “pushing” (Deu 33:17, “He shall push the peoples,” the Revised Version, margin “gore”; 1Ki 22:11; Psa 44:5; Eze 34:21; Dan 8:4; Dan 11:40, the Revised Version (British and American) “contend,” margin “Hebrew push at,” as an ox pushes with his horns so should the king fight - a fitting description of warfare).
