The supplied verses most often use the noun for animal tissue as food or sacrificial material, whether boiled, roasted, eaten, withheld, or burned. It also denotes the bodily surface or body of a person, can mark shared bodily kinship in the “bone and …” expression, and occurs in broader or figurative statements about humanity and human strength.

   The noun identifies animal portions handled as food or offerings: in Exodus 12:8 the APB renders the clause about eating it roasted, while Exodus 29:31 renders the ram's portion being boiled. Absolute forms occur in Deuteronomy 12:20 for the desired food, and construct forms identify the animal portion in Exodus 29:14 and Deuteronomy 14:8.

2. A person's bodily tissue or body · common

   In healing and bodily-contact contexts, construct forms refer to a person's physical body: 2 Kings 5:10 speaks of the body returning after washing, and 2 Kings 4:34 describes the youth's body becoming warm. The same use appears where clothing covers bodily nakedness in Exodus 28:42 and where distress is put away from the body in Ecclesiastes 11:10.

3. Human beings as bodily creatures · occasional

   The noun can gather people under a bodily description. In Deuteronomy 5:26 the APB renders “all flesh” in the question about those who heard God's voice and lived; in 2 Chronicles 32:8, “an arm of flesh” contrasts the opponent's arm with the LORD's help.

   Deuteronomy 5:262 Chronicles 32:8
4. Shared bodily kinship · rare

   In the construct phrase paired with “bone,” the noun expresses a close bodily relationship. In 2 Samuel 5:1 the APB renders Israel's address to David, “we are your bone and your flesh,” and 2 Samuel 19:13 uses the same expression in David's message to Amasa.

   2 Samuel 5:12 Samuel 19:131 Chronicles 11:1
5. Figurative image within a pot · rare

   In Ezekiel 11:3 the absolute noun occurs in the speakers' image, “it is the pot, and we are the flesh.” Ezekiel 11:11 repeats the pot-and-flesh image while announcing judgment at Israel's border.

   Ezekiel 11:3Ezekiel 11:11

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly uses “flesh” in clauses concerning bodies, offerings, and kinship, but also uses “meat” where the context concerns eating or sacrifice. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these English choices show the verse context rather than a fixed rendering for each token.
