hwı̄t´wosh : the American Revised Version margin gives "whitewash" for "untempered mortar" in Ezekiel 13:10 and Ezekiel 22:28 . 'Her prophets have daubed for them,' i.e. seconded them, "with whitewash," thus giving "a slight wall" (Ezekiel 13:10 margin) a specious appearance of strength. See MORTAR; UNTEMPERED .
