I decided to go ahead and post this;  I suspect that if one saves it and
opens it or copies and pastes it into a suitable word processor the
gibberish will convert back into Hebrew text and transliterations.  From
Standard International Bible Encyclopedia and Storng's Exhaustive
Concordance.

19For the horseH5483 of PharaohH6547 wentH935 in with his chariotsH7393 and
with his horsemenH6571 into the seaH3220, and the LORDH3068 broughtH7725

1. NAMES
The common names are (1) , , and (2) lððïò, . (3) The word
, , “horseman,” occurs often, and in several cases is
translated
“horse” or “warhorse” (Isa 28:28; Ezek 27:14; Joel 2:4 the Revised Version,
margin); also in 2 Sam 16, where the “horsemen” of English Versions of the
Bible is , , “owners of horses”;
compare Arabic , “horseman,” and , “horse”. (4) The feminine
form , , occurs in Song 1:9, and is rendered as follows:
Septuagint ½
lððïò, ; Vulgate (Jerome’s Latin Bible, 390-405 AD) ;
the King James Version “company of horses,” the Revised Version (British and
American) “steed.” It is not clear why English Versions of the Bible does
not
have “mare.” (5) The word , ,“strong ones,” is used for
horses in Jdg 5:22; Jer 8:16; 47:3; 50:11 (the King James Version “bulls”).
In Ps
22:12 the same word is translated “strong bulls” (of Bashan). (6) For ,

the
King James Version gives “dromedaries” in 1 Ki and “mules” in Est. (7) For

Revised Version have “swift beasts”; the English Revised Version margin and
the American Standard Revised Version “dromedaries”; Septuagint óêéÜäéá,

Revised
