     * a pillow.
       Rather, "the net-work of goat's hair at its (the Teraphim's)
       pillow;"  for the {kevir,} (whence the Chaldee and Syriac
       {kavreetho,} a honey-comb, from its net-like form), seems to
       have been a kind of mosquito-net, which, says Dr. Shaw, is "a
       close curtain of gauze, used all over the East, by people of
       fashion, to keep out the flies."  That they had such anciently
       cannot be doubted.  Thus when Judith had beheaded Holofernes
       in his bed, (ch. 13:9, 15) "she pulled down the canopy (or the
       mosquito net, [            ,] from [             ,] a gnat, or
       mosquito, whence our word canopy) wherein he did lie in his
       drunkenness, from the pillars."
