  Haje \Ha"je\ (h[aum]"j[-e]), n. [Ar. hayya snake.] (Zool.)
     The Egyptian asp or cobra ({Naja haje}.) It is related to the
     cobra of India, and like the latter has the power of
     inflating its neck into a hood. Its bite is very venomous. It
     is supposed to be the snake by means of whose bite Cleopatra
     committed suicide, and hence is sometimes called {Cleopatra's


     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}.)
