a
This word has led to great discussion. On the one hand Gesenius takes it as "and made to flow away"; on the other hand, Dr. Henderson prefers, "though firmly established"; both construe it with the preceding phrase. Mr. Leeser translates "And the queen." Ewald among recent Hebraists adheres to Huzzab as the name literal or symbolical of the queen.
