Psalms 58:4
venom <02534> [poison.]
like ........ deaf <01823 02795> [like. Heb. according to the likeness of. serpent.]
deaf <02795> [the deaf.]
[adder or asp.]
{Pethen,} is no doubt the {boeten} of the Arabians, which M. Forskal describes as spotted with black and white, about one foot in length, nearly half an inch thick, oviparous, and its bite almost instant death. It is the aspic of the ancients, and is so called the literati of Cyprus, though the common people call it [kouphe,] deaf.
