MARE

mar ((1) cucah, "steed," the King James Version "company of horses"; Septuagint he hippos, "mare" (Song 1:9); (2) bene ha-rammakhim, "bred of the stud," the King James Version and the Revised Version margin "young dromedaries" (Est 8:10); compare Arabic ramakat, "mare"): The word "mare" does not occur in English Versions of the Bible, but in Song 1:9 we find cucah, the feminine of cuc, "horse," and in Est 8:10, bene ha-rammakhim is by some translated "sons of mares."
