Denotes the estuary of the Dead Sea at the mouth of the Jordan (Joshua 15:5; 18:19), also the southern extremity of the same sea (15:2). The same Hebrew word is rendered "tongue" in Isaiah 11:15, where it is used with reference to the forked mouths of the Nile.

Bay in Zechariah 6:3, 7 denotes the colour of horses, but the original Hebrew means strong, and is here used rather to describe the horses as fleet or spirited.

Bay tree

Named only in Psalm 37:35, Authorized Version. The Hebrew word so rendered is ereh, which simply means "native born", i.e., a tree not transplanted, but growing on its native soil, and therefore luxuriantly. If the psalmist intended by this word to denote any particular tree, it may have been the evergreen bay laurel (Laurus nobilis), which is a native of Palestine. Instead of "like a green bay tree" in the Authorized Version, the Revised Version has, "like a green tree in its native soil."

1. (a.) Reddish brown; of the color of a chestnut; -- applied to the color of horses.

2. (n.) An inlet of the sea, usually smaller than a gulf, but of the same general character.

3. (n.) A small body of water set off from the main body; as a compartment containing water for a wheel; the portion of a canal just outside of the gates of a lock, etc.

4. (n.) A recess or indentation shaped like a bay.

5. (n.) A principal compartment of the walls, roof, or other part of a building, or of the whole building, as marked off by the buttresses, vaulting, mullions of a window, etc.; one of the main divisions of any structure, as the part of a bridge between two piers.

6. (n.) A compartment in a barn, for depositing hay, or grain in the stalks.

7. (n.) A kind of mahogany obtained from Campeachy Bay.

8. (n.) A berry, particularly of the laurel.

9. (n.) The laurel tree (Laurus nobilis). Hence, in the plural, an honorary garland or crown bestowed as a prize for victory or excellence, anciently made or consisting of branches of the laurel.

10. (n.) A tract covered with bay trees.

11. (v. i.) To bark, as a dog with a deep voice does, at his game.

12. (v. t.) To bark at; hence, to follow with barking; to bring or drive to bay; as, to bay the bear.

13. (v. i.) Deep-toned, prolonged barking.

14. (n.) A state of being obliged to face an antagonist or a difficulty, when escape has become impossible.

15. (v. t.) To bathe.

16. (n.) A bank or dam to keep back water.

17. (v. t.) To dam, as water; -- with up or back.

ba'-tre' (the King James Version only; Psalm 37:35; 'ezrach): The word means "native," "indigenous," and the Revised Version (British and American) translations "a green tree in its native soil."
