Thou didst blaspheme.Some, with Parkhurst, would render the original, {bairachta elohim wamailech,} "Thou hast blessed the gods and Molech;" a sense, however, which seems extremely forced, and is not acknowledged by any of the ancient versions, though the LXX. and Vulgate render {bairachta} by [eulogese,] {benedixit,} "blessed."

This practice obtains among the Moors at Constantia, a town of Barbary; and is also of frequent occurrence in Persia.

But if it be a daughter, she has a {gees sefeed,} or white head, attached to her for the same purpose as the {laleh.}"
