Psalm 74:8
They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. (Psalm 74:8)
Synagogues.
Literally, “places of meeting.” The translation “synagogue” occurs here doubtless because it was not known that the synagogue was a late (postexilic) institution. The Jewish word for synagogue is beth hakkeneseth.
