Meadow.
1. In Genesis 41:2; Genesis 41:18, meadow appears to be an Egyptian term meaning some kind of flag or waterplant, as its use in Job 8:11, (Authorized Version, "flag"), seems to show.
2. In Judges 20:33, the sense of the Hebrew word translated meadow is doubly uncertain. The most plausible interpretation is that of the Peshito-Syriac, which by a slight difference in the vowel-points makes the word mearah, "the cave".
