Flag
(Heb., or rather Egyptian, ahu, Job 8:11), rendered "meadow" in Gen. 41:2, 18; probably the Cyperus esculentus, a species of rush eaten by cattle, the Nile reed. It also grows in Israel. In Ex. 2:3, 5, Isa. 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, Jonah 2:5). It denotes some kind of sedge or reed which grows in marshy places. (See PAPER T0002840, REED T0003087.) Bibliography Information
