ba.tseq describes feet becoming swollen, negated in two wilderness-provision statements.

The attested use concerns feet becoming swollen: both clauses deny this condition while describing sustained clothing and feet over forty years.

Senses in use

  1. Feet becoming swollen · dominant

    In Deuteronomy 8:4, the Qal perfect feminine singular form occurs in the clause concerning “your foot”; the APB renders the clause “your foot did not swell.” In Nehemiah 9:21, the Qal perfect common plural form occurs with “their feet,” and the APB renders “their feet did not swell.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents both clauses with “did not swell,” applied first to a foot and then to feet. This reflects the clause-level presentation rather than a fixed lexical rendering.
