Markos 5:4

4 Because often he had been bound with shackles and the shackles had been torn apart by him, and no one had the koach (power) to subdue him.

Markos 5:4 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 5:4

Because that he had been often bound with fetters and
chains
Trial had been made several times, to no purpose; his arms had been bound with chains, and his feet with fetters, which was very proper to prevent doing hurt to himself, and injury to others:

and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters
broken in pieces;
as if they had been twine threads; such was his strength, through the force of madness, and the possession of Satan, and his diabolical influence:

neither could any man tame him;
by any methods whatever; even such who undertook the cure of madness, or to exorcise those that were possessed: this man was so furious and outrageous, that he was not to be managed any way, either by art or force.

Markos 5:4 In-Context

2 And as soon as Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach stepped out of the sirah (boat), ofen ort (immediately), a man with a ruach hatumah from the kevarim (tombs) of the burial caves met him.

3 This man had (his) dwelling among the kevarim. And no one could keep him tied any longer, even with sharsherot (chains, fetters);

4 Because often he had been bound with shackles and the shackles had been torn apart by him, and no one had the koach (power) to subdue him.

5 And constantly, yomam valailah (day and night), among the kevarim and in the mountains, he was crying out and beating himself with stones.

6 And, having seen Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach from afar, he ran and fell down before him.
