6. ChaVEuh (nW), in the plnr. {Chavoth, ript), a tent- village of a more temporary or frail character than the preceding, as not being surrounded by any defence ("town," Numb, xxxii, 41 ; Josh, xiii, 30 ;"l Kings iv, 13; 1 Chron. ii, 23; "Havoth," Deut. iii, 14; Judg. iv, 13).
The following are rather separate erections or fortifica- tions than congregated abodes, but they are of a fixed character in distinction from the simple and primitive 6hd (SnX), or " tent." For all these the general name is lldijith (r"'3), a hmme (as almost always rendered in the A. v.), which is the common expression for a tixed habit;\- tion (very generally as built [from PIDS] of substantial materials, but occasionally a frailer structure. Gen. xxvii, 15: Judg. xviii, 31 ; 1 Sam. i, 7 ; 2 Kings xviii, 7; Job viii, 14), and for a permanent dwelling (as appears from the form of the letter called from it, 3, which represents the three sides of a house, the other being left ojien for a door- way). The main element of the firmer and most endur- ing of these erections is denoted by the wm-d Kir ("i"^p, cognate with Kirjdh above), a ivall (as of a house, whether exterior or interior. Lev. xiv, 37; 1 Sam. xx, 25; 1 Kings vi, 5 ; Ezek. xxiii, 14, etc. ; hence tlie side of an altar.

As a proper name (2 Kings xix, 24 ; Isa. xxxvii, 25; xix, 6) Mazor seems to deuote Egypt (Miz- raim).
