Definition: The term "agisted" in the Bible appears in two places. The first, specifically in Job 14:7, describes a man who sought to deceive his wife and her family, but was caught by God and judged for his lies. In Job 16:2-3, Job tells a lie about being rich, which led to a severe judgment from God: Job 16:2 "And thou shalt not eat bread till thou art dead, even as thy father's sons that were in Egypt did not eat bread. Yet I will take thee away with me for the sake of thy life, and shall deliver thee out of all thine enemies." The second occurrence is found in Genesis 37:28-29. In Genesis 37:28-29, it says: "Then he said to his wife, 'What hast thou done to my husband?' But she answered him saying, 'Thou art an adulterer and an abomination.' And she took counsel with her sister and went out of the house and killed his son in his father's bed chamber." The passage is from Genesis 38:20-21. There are several instances in this story where Job had a "lying" attitude or deceitful purpose, causing God to take away his life. So, "agisted" as an expression of deception is one way the Bible uses the phrase to describe such behavior and outcomes.
