Adonis (ISBE)

DIC dictionary-entry · status:draft · license:PD

a -dō´nis : A name for the Babylonian god TAMMUZ . The word occurs only in the English Revised Version, margin of Isaiah 17:10 , where for "pleasant plants" is read "plantings of Adonis." The American Standard Revised Version rightly omits this marginal suggestion.
