the woof

Primarily, עֵרֶב (ʻêreb) refers to a mixture or a mingling, particularly of people or groups seen as a heterogeneous assembly; secondarily, it denotes 'woof,' the cross-threads in woven fabric, signifying interlacing or mixing of threads. In certain contexts, the term can refer more specifically to a group of non-Israelite peoples associated with or living among the Israelites, often rendered 'mixed multitude.' The term can also identify regions or peoples characterized by mixed ethnicity or foreign origin, especially in post-monarchic and exilic texts.
