(4.) The children of Israel passed out of Egypt "harnessed" (Ex 13:18), i.e., in an orderly manner, and as if to meet a foe. The word so rendered is probably a derivative from Hebrew hamesh (i.e., "five"), and may denote that they went up in five divisions, viz., the van, centre, two wings, and rear-guard.

Hastings

See, generally, Armour, which RV substitutes in most places for AV 'harness.' Similarly 'harnessed' (Ex 13:18) becomes 'armed,' and the 'well harnessed' camp of 1Ma 4:7 becomes 'fortified.' For 'the joints of the harness' of 1Ki 22:34 Revised Version margin substitutes 'the lower armour and the breastplate,' the former being probably 'the tassets or jointed appendages of the cuirass, covering the abdomen' (Skinner, Cent. Bible, in loc.). The only passage where 'harness' as a verb has its modern signification is Jer 46:4 'harness the horses,' the verb in the original being that used in Ge 46:29; Ex 14:6 etc. for yoking the horses to the chariot.
