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.

Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary:
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.)
