to feel and find
12. transitive. To grope after, try to find. Only in to feel and find and variants, in translations of Acts 17:27 and apparent allusions to it. Obsolete. [After post-classical Latin attrectare to touch, handle (see attrectation n.) in the Vulgate translation of Acts 17:27, itself after Hellenistic Greek ψηλαϕᾶν to feel, touch, stroke, to test, examine, to search after (see pselaphognath n.). Compare German fühlen und finden (1522 in Luther's translation of the Bible). Compare also quot. 1611 for to feel after —— at Phrasal verbs.
The phrase to feel and find also occurs commonly in other religious contexts in which feel is more appropriately interpreted as belonging to branch I.]
