LICE ( kinnîm , Exodus 8:16-18 , Psalms 105:31; cf. kçn , Isaiah 51:6 , see Gnat). RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] suggests ‘ sandflies or fleas ’ instead of ‘lice.’ All the insects named are only too common in Palestine and Egypt. The three well-known varieties of pediculi or lice are perpetually prevalent among the dirty, and a plague of them would certainly be much more terrible than one of the harmless, though irritating ‘sand-fly’ ( Simulium ), and far more disgusting than one of the flea ( Pulex ). Cf. p. 733 b .
