Dict: easton - Flag



easton:



Flag @ (Heb., or rather Egyptian, ahu, kjv@Job:8:11), rendered "meadow" in kjv@Genesis:41:2 kjv@Genesis:41:18 probably the Cyperus esculentus, a species of rush eaten by cattle, the Nile reed. It also grows in Palestine. In kjv@Exodus:2:3-5, kjv@Isaiah:19:6, it is the rendering of the Hebrew suph, a word which occurs frequently in connection with yam; as yam suph, to denote the "Red Sea" (q.v.) or the sea of weeds (as this word is rendered, kjv@Jonah:2:5). It denotes some kind of sedge or reed which grows in marshy places. (
See PAPER , REED.)



Flagon @ Heb. ashishah, ( kjv@2Samuel:6:19; kjv@1Chronicles:16:3; Cant. kjv@2:5; Hosea:3:1), meaning properly "a cake of pressed raisins." "Flagons of wine" of the Authorized Version should be, as in the Revised Version, "cakes of raisins" in all these passages. In kjv@Isaiah:22:24 it is the rendering of the Hebrew nebel, which properly means a bottle or vessel of skin. (Comp. kjv@1Samuel:1:24 kjv@1Samuel:10:3 kjv@1Samuel:25:18 ; kjv@2Samuel:16:1, where the same Hebrew word is used.)
