GNU Project's publication of CIDE, the Collaborative International Dictionary of English Haje \Ha"je\ (h[aum]"j[-e]), n. [Ar. hayya snake.] (Zool.)
The Egyptian asp or cobra (Naja haje.) It is related to the
cobra of India, and like the latter has the power of
inflating its neck into a hood. Its bite is very venomous. It
is supposed to be the snake by means of whose bite Cleopatra
committed suicide, and hence is sometimes called {Cleopatra's
snake} or asp. See Asp.

Asp (Heb. pethen), Deut. 32:33; Job 20:14, 16; Isa. 11:8. It was probably the Egyptian cobra (Naja haje), which was very poisonous (Rom. 3:13; Gr. aspis). The Egyptians worshipped it as the _uraeus_, and it was found in the desert and in the fields. The peace and security of Messiah's reign is represented by the figure of a child playing on the hole of the asp. (See {ADDER}.)
