3 He was living in the place of the dead: and no man was able to keep him down, no, not with a chain;
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 he had frequently been prisoned in chains and iron bands, and the chains had been parted and the bands broken by him: and no man was strong enough to make him quiet.
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.

12
And they (the ruchot hatemeiot, the shedim) implored Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying, Send us into the chazirim, so that we may go into them.

30
And ofen ort Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having perceived within himself that gevurah (miraculous power) had gone forth from him, turned around in the crowd and said, Who touched my garments?
