The name given in the Authorized Version to the receptacle (;; ) which the Philistines placed beside the ark when they sent it home, and in which they deposited the golden mice and emerods that formed their trespass-offering. It is supposed to be the same, or nearly the same thing, as the Arabian rijaza, which is a kind of wallet, into which stones are put: it is hung to one of the two sides of the haudaj [a litter borne by a camel or mule] when it inclines towards the other.
