Easton: Horseman
Source: Matthew Easton, Illustrated Bible Dictionary (1897) (Horseman) · external_aligned
Heb. ba’al parash, “master of a horse.” The “horsemen” mentioned Ex. 14:9 were “mounted men”, i.e., men who rode in chariots. The army of Pharaoh consisted of a chariot and infantry force. We find that at a later period, however, the Egyptians had cavalry (2 Chr. 12:3). (See HORSE.)
