MAZ'ZAROTH, Job 38:32, or MAZZALOTH, 2 Kgs 23:5 (planets), the-name of the twelve signs of the zodiac. Mattock or Egyptian Hoe. (After Wilkinson.) MEAD'OW is in Gen 41:2 the rendering of an Egyptian word denoting rushes or water-plants in general. In Jud 20:33 the Hebrew words rendered with "meadow" would, by a slight change in the punctuation, read "cave," which seems more appropriate.
