SAND . Minute particles of silex, mica, felspar, etc., easily rolled before the wind; hence, probably, its Heb. name, chôl . It lies in great stretches along the Palestinian and Egyptlan sea-board an apt symbol of the incalculably vast or numerous ( Genesis 22:17; Genesis 41:49 , Jeremiah 33:22 etc.). For ‘sand,’ in Job 29:18 , we should probably read, with RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] , ‘phÅ“nix.’ However compact and firm, sand at once becomes soft at the touch of water ( Matthew 7:26 etc.).
