xeros describes a withered bodily member or a dry condition of land, wood, and related settings.

The term predominantly describes a hand marked by a withered condition; it also characterizes dry land, dry wood, and people described among the afflicted. The supplied forms occur with feminine hand nouns, with land and wood settings, and in a plural masculine description of those lying ill.

1. A hand in a withered condition · dominant

   In Luke 6:6, Luke 6:8, Mark 3:3, and Matthew 12:10, the feminine forms identify the man's hand in the synagogue and healing-question setting. In Luke 6:6 the APB renders the clause as a man whose right hand was "withered," while the other verses continue to identify him by that hand.

   Luke 6:6Luke 6:8Mark 3:3Matthew 12:10
2. Dry land or wood · common

   Hebrews 11:29 places the feminine singular genitive form with land crossed at the Red Sea; the APB renders the setting "as on dry land." Luke 23:31 contrasts green wood with the dative neuter singular form, and Matthew 23:15 places the accusative feminine singular form in travel around sea and land; the APB renders these clauses with "dry."

   Hebrews 11:29Luke 23:31Matthew 23:15
3. People described as withered · occasional

   In John 5:3, the genitive plural masculine form occurs in a list of people lying among the weak, blind, and lame. The APB renders that list with "withered,".

   John 5:3

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with "withered" for the hand and for those lying ill in John 5:3, and with "dry" for land and wood in Hebrews 11:29, Luke 23:31, and Matthew 23:15. These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
