Arrowsnake
aro-snak: In Isa 34:15 the Hebrew word , kippoz, which in the King James Version is rendered great owl, is in the English Revised Version rendered arrowsnake, and in the American Standard Revised Version dart-snake. Gesenius, who translates arrowsnake, says so called from the spring with which it propels itself. Others, from the mention of make her nest, lay, and hatch, think some kind of bird is meant. See OWL; SERPENT.
