WAX

waks:

(1) Noun (donagh): Used only in a simile of melting (Psalm 22:14; Psalm 68:2; Psalm 97:5 Micah 1:4).

See WRITING.

(2) A now archaic verb, meaning "to grow," used freely in English Versions of the Bible as a translation of various terms in Greek and Hebrew. The past participle in the King James Version and the English Revised Version is "waxen," except in Genesis 18:12. There (and throughout in the American Standard Revised Version) the form is "waxed."
