meadow

1. Hebrew: ha'ahu (Genesis 41:2, 18), probably an Egyptian word transferred to the Hebrew; some kind of reed or water-plant. In the Revised King James Version it is rendered “reed-grass”, i.e., the sedge or rank grass by the river side.

2. Hebrew: ma'areh (Judges 20:33), plural, “meadows of Gibeah” (R.V., after the Septuagint, “Maareh-geba”).

   Some have adopted the translation “after Gibeah had been left open.”

   The Vulgate translates the word “from the west.”
