Strong’s Definitions

עָרָב ʻârâb, aw-rawb'; from H6148; a willow (from the use of osiers as wattles):—willow.

Note by BLB: Strong's entry lists the pronunciation of this word with the "b" sound. This is incorrect. The ב (bet) does not have a daghesh lene so it is pronounced with a "v" sound. This is why the transliteration has a bar under the "b" (ḇ).
