kwit:
Same derivation as "quiet," so that "to be quit" (Exodus
21:19 ,
21:28 ; Joshua
2:20 the King James Version) is "to be relieved of responsibility," naqah,
naqi, "guiltless" (so the Revised Version (British and American) Joshua
2:20). Hence, "to quit one's self" means "to be freed by discharging a duty."
The phrase in English Versions of the Bible, however, is a gloss for in 1
Samuel 4:9 it is used for hayah, "to be," while in 1
Corinthians 16:13 andrizomai, means "to behave like a man."
