Sihor:
(correctly Shi'hor) black; dark the name given to the river Nile in Isa 23:3; Jer 2:18. In Jos 13:3 it is probably "the river of Egypt", i.e., the Wady el-Arish (1Ch 13:5), which flows "before Egypt", i.e., in a north-easterly direction from Egypt, and enters the sea about 50 miles south-west of Gaza.
Sihor:

Sihor:
(dark) accurately Shi'hor, once The Shihor, or Shihor of Egypt, when unqualified a name of the Nile. It is held to signify "the black" or "turbid." In Jeremiah the identity of Shihor with the Nile seems distinctly stated (Jeremiah 2:18). The stream mentioned in 1 Chronicles 13:5 is possibly that of the Wadi l' Areesh.
