Ho 10:5 *marg:
"Foretold. Zep 1:4, 5."
* planets. or, twelve signs, or constellations.
So the Vulgate {duodecim signa,} "the twelve signs," i.e., the
zodiac; which is the most probable meaning of the word
{mazzaloth,} from the Arabic {manzeel,} a {caravanserai,} house,
or dwelling, as being the apparent dwellings of the sun in his
annual course; and the Targumists and Rabbins often employ the
words {tereysar mazzalaya,} to denote the signs of the zodiac.
* all the host.
21:3,4 Jer 8:1,2 44:17-19
