Eggs deserted ( Isaiah 10:14 ), of a bird ( Deuteronomy 22:6 ), an ostrich ( Job 39:14 ), the cockatrice ( Isaiah 59:5 ).

In Job 6:6 ("the white of an egg") the word for egg (hallamuth') occurs nowhere else. It has been translated "purslain" (RSV marg.), and the whole phrase "purslain-broth", i.e., broth made of that herb, proverbial for its insipidity; and hence an insipid discourse. Job applies this expression to the speech of Eliphaz as being insipid and dull. But the common rendering, "the white of an egg", may be satisfactorily maintained.
