  Haye  \Ha"ye\,  n.  [Ar.  hayya  snake.]  (Zo["o]l.) 
  The  Egyptian  asp  or  cobra  ({Naja  haje}.)  It  is  related  to  the

  is  supposed  to  be  the  snake  by  means  of  whose  bite  Cleopatra

  snake}  or  {asp}.  See  {Asp}.

  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Asp 
  (Heb.  pethen),  Deut.  32:33;  Job  20:14,  16;  Isa.  11:8.  It  was 
  probably  the  Egyptian  cobra  (Naja  haje),  which  was  very 
  poisonous  (Rom.  3:13;  Gr  aspis).  The  Egyptians  worshipped  it  as 
  the  _uraeus_,  and  it  was  found  in  the  desert  and  in  the  fields. 
  The  peace  and  security  of  Messiah's  reign  is  represented  by  the 
  figure  of  a  child  playing  on  the  hole  of  the  asp.  (See  {ADDER}.)
