The Definition of the word Irha-heres

Irha-heres

According to some MSS., meaning city of destruction." Other" "MSS. read 'Irhahares; rendered "city of the sun", Isa. 19:18," where alone the word occurs. This name may probably refer to Heliopolis. The prophecy here points to a time when the Jews would so increase in number there as that the city would fall under their influence. This might be in the time of the Ptolemies. (See [295]ON.)
