Subjects in this Topic:
HUZZAB.—A word occurring in Nah_2:7. Gesenius derived it from a verb tsâbhabh, and read ‘the palace is dissolved and made to flow down.’ Many recent authorities regard it as from nâtsabh, and tr. [Note: translate or translation.] ‘it is decreed.’ But Wellhausen and others have considered it a proper name—referring to the Assyrian queen, or to the city of Nineveh personified.
