Definition and Context:
The term "pulleth" is an archaic English verb form that appears in older translations of the Bible, such as the King James Version (KJV). It is derived from the verb "pull," meaning to draw or tug something toward oneself. In the context of the Bible, "pulleth" is often used to describe actions involving drawing or leading, whether physically or metaphorically.

Biblical Usage:
While the Berean Standard Bible does not use the term "pulleth," understanding its usage in older translations can provide insight into certain biblical narratives and teachings. The term is typically found in passages where an action of drawing or leading is described, often in a metaphorical sense to illustrate spiritual truths or moral lessons.

Examples in Scripture:
1. Proverbs 21:7 (KJV): "The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment." In this context, the concept of "pulleth" can be understood as the inevitable consequence or drawing of destruction upon oneself due to wicked actions. The BSB translates this verse as: "The violence of the wicked will sweep them away because they refuse to do what is just."

2. Job 24:22 (KJV): "He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life." Here, "draweth" is akin to "pulleth," indicating God's sovereign power to lead or draw the mighty according to His will. The BSB renders this as: "Yet by His power, God drags away the mighty; though rising up, they have no assurance of life."

Theological Implications:
The use of "pulleth" in biblical texts often underscores themes of divine sovereignty and human responsibility. It reflects the idea that actions, whether righteous or wicked, have consequences that are drawn or pulled toward the individual. This aligns with the biblical principle of sowing and reaping, where one's actions lead to corresponding outcomes.

Application in Christian Life:
Understanding the concept of "pulleth" encourages believers to consider the spiritual and moral implications of their actions. It serves as a reminder of the importance of aligning one's life with God's will and the teachings of Scripture. By doing so, Christians can draw blessings and favor from God, rather than the negative consequences of sin and disobedience.

Conclusion:
While the term "pulleth" may not appear in modern translations like the BSB, its underlying concept remains relevant. It highlights the dynamic relationship between human actions and divine response, urging believers to live in a manner that draws them closer to God and His purposes.
