(חָצִוֹ, chatsats', something broken off small; gravel-stone, Proverbs 20:17; Lamentations 3:16. In Psalm lxxvii. 7, חֲצָצֶיַךָ, "thine arrows," is regarded by Fulrst as a reduplicative form from הֵוֹ; in Isaiah 48:19, מְ וֹתָיו, erroneously "the gravel thereof," is undoubtedly the same as in מֵ יךָ preceding, and stands elliptically for "[the issue of] its bowels," sc. the sea's, i.e., the fish that spawn so numerously), comminuted rock, coarser than sand, but smaller than stones, forming a large part of what is known geologically as "drift" or diluvium over the surface of the earth. (See LAND).
