Asp:
(Heb. pethen), Deu 32:33; Job 20:14, 16; Isa 11:8. It was probably the Egyptian cobra (Naja haje), which was very poisonous (Rom 3:13; Gr. aspis). The Egyptians worshipped it as the uraeus, and it was found in the desert and in the fields. The peace and security of Messiah's reign is represented by the figure of a child playing on the hole of the asp. (See ADDER.)
Asp:
(pethen (De 32:33; Job 20:14,16; Isa 11:8); aspis (Ro 3:13)); Any poisonous snake, or even poisonous snakes in general, would satisfy the context in all the passages cited. Pethen is also translated ADDER (which see) in Ps 58:4; 91:13. Most authors have supposed the Egyptian cobra (Naia haje, L.) to be the snake meant, but while this is widely distributed throughout Africa, its occurrence in Southern Palestine seems to rest solely on the authority of Canon Tristram, who did not collect it.
There are other poisonous snakes in Palestine, any one of which would satisfy the requirements of these passages. See SERPENT. While the aspis of classical Greek literature may well have been the Egyptian cobra, it is to be noted that Vipera aspis, L., is confined to central and western Europe.
Written by Alfred Ely Day
Asp: A Snake, Serpent.
And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the ASP, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. (Isaiah 11:8-9)
Asp: A Venomous Serpent
Deu 32:33; Job 20:14, 16; Isa 11:8; Rom 3:13
Asp: Venom Of
Illustrates the speech of the wicked,
Psa 140:3; Rom 3:13.
Asp: Injurious Effects of Wine
Deu 32:33; Pro 23:32
Asp: Deprived of Venom
Illustrates conversion,
Isa 11:8, 9.
Asp:
"a small and very venomous serpent," the bite of which is fatal, unless the part affected is at once cut away, in Rom 3:13 is said, metaphorically, of the conversation of the ungodly.
Asp:
(Heb. pethen) translated adder in Psalm 58:4; 91:13. Probably the Egyptian cobra, a small and very poisonous serpent, a dweller in the holes of walls (Isaiah 11:8) and a snake upon which the serpent‐charmers practiced their art.
Adder:
(Psa 140:3; Rom 3:13, "asp") is the rendering of, (1.) Akshub ("coiling" or "lying in wait"), properly an asp or viper, found only in this passage. (2.) Pethen ("twisting"), a viper or venomous serpent identified with the cobra (Naja haje) (Psa 58:4; 91:13); elsewhere "asp." (3.) Tziphoni ("hissing") (Pro 23:32); elsewhere rendered "cockatrice," (Isa 11:8; 14:29; 59:5; Jer 8:17), as it is here in the margin of the Authorized Version. The Revised Version has "basilisk." This may have been the yellow viper, the Daboia xanthina, the largest and most dangerous of the vipers of Palestine. (4.) Shephiphon ("creeping"), occurring only in Gen 49:17, the small speckled venomous snake, the "horned snake," or cerastes. Dan is compared to this serpent, which springs from its hiding-place on the passer-by.
He is a cross pendant.
He is engraved with a unique Number.
He will mail it out from Jerusalem.
He will be sent to your Side.
Emmanuel
