This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Nibhaz - under that of a dog - that Egyptian form of animal-worship having prevailed in ancient Syria, as is evident from the image of a large dog at the mouth of the Nahr-el-Kelb, or Dog river.
Tartak - According to the rabbis, it was in the form of an ass, but others understand it as a planet of ill-omen, probably Saturn.
Adrammelech - supposed by some to be the same as Molech, and in Assyrian mythology to stand for the sun. It was worshipped in the form of a mule - others maintain in that of a peacock.
Anammelech - worshipped in the form of a hare; others say in that of a goat.
