Poison:
(1.) Heb. hemah, "heat," the poison of certain venomous reptiles (Deu 32:24,33; Job 6:4; Psa 58:4), causing inflammation.
(2.) Heb. rosh, "a head," a poisonous plant (Deu 29:18), growing luxuriantly (Hsa 10:4), of a bitter taste (Psa 69:21; Lam 3:5), and coupled with wormwood; probably the poppy. This word is rendered "gall", q.v., (Deu 29:18; 32:33; Psa 69:21; Jer 8:14, etc.), "hemlock" (Hsa 10:4; Amo 6:12), and "poison" (Job 20:16), "the poison of asps," showing that the rosh was not exclusively a vegetable poison.
(3.) In Rom 3:13 [comp. Job 20:16; Psa 140:3], Jam 3:8, as the rendering of the Greek ios.
