kouch´ing -plās ( מרבּץ , marbēc ; once in English Versions of the Bible, Ezekiel 25:5 ): The same Hebrew word, however, which means simply "place of lying down" of animals in repose, is used also in Zephaniah 2:15 where the translation is "a place ... to lie down in." The figure, a common one in Scripture (see besides, Isaiah 17:2; Isaiah 27:10 ), suggests desolation.
