Ezekiel39:3
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and I will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
Make thy hand weak, not able to hold the bow, and thy heart faint, not daring to take it up again.
What is said of the bow rendred useless, is to be understood of all other Weapons of War, this one kind the Bow being most in use with these Scythians, is mentioned for all the rest.
The hand for holding the bow, while the right fits the arrow to the string, and draws to shoot.
Thou shalt throw away thine arrows that thou mayest the better fly for escape.
