Bulrush.


In Ex. 2: 3; Isa. 18: 2, the papyrus is referred to, a reed of which anciently paper was made. It was of this that the ark was made in which the infant Moses was put, Ex. 2: 3, and the smaller boats on the Nile. Isa. 18: 2. In Isa. 58: 5 it is a different word, and is used for any kind of 'rush.' Both words are also translated 'rushes.'
