Eroge
Eroge [1]
( Ε᾿Ρωγή ), a place "before the city" ( Πρὸ Τῆς Πόλεως ) Jerusalem, according to Josephus (Ant. 9:10, 4), where the mountain (Matthew of Olives) split asunder for a space of half a mile, filling the king's gardens with the detritus of the avalanche: an account which is evidently an embellishment of the prophetical commentary ( Zechariah 14:5) upon the earthquake ( Amos 1:1) on the occasion of Uzziah's usurpation of the sacerdotal functions ( 2 Chronicles 26:16-21). Schwarz ingeniously explains (Palest. page 263 note) the name Eroge as a Graecized transposition for Zechariah's expression gorge of my mountains ( גֵּיאאּהָרִי , gey-haray', Sept. Φάραγξ Ὀρέων , Vulg. Vallis Mnontium Eorum, A.V. "valley of the mountain"). For another identification, (See En-Rogel).
