Honored in Israel as she is not in the East generally; one superiority of Judaism over other contemporary systems (1 Kings 2:19). King Solomon rose up to meet and bowed himself unto Bathsheba, and set her on his right hand (Leviticus 19:3).

Ezekiel (Ezekiel 21:21) uses "mother of the way" for the parting of the way into two roads which branch from it, as from a common parent; however, Havernick, from a Arabic idiom, translated it as "the highway."
