Zechariah 9:6

a bastard The word only occurs here and in Deuteronomy 23:2 (3, Heb.). There it is probably used of one born of incest or adultery. (Speaker's Commentary, Vol. I. pt. ii. p. 884.) Here perhaps it is employed rather as a term of contempt, "a mixed and ignoble race" (a bastard race, R. V. margin), than in its strictly literal sense. The LXX. who render ἐκ πορνῆς in Deut. have here ἀλλογενής.
