ga.dish denotes a gathered agricultural heap, shown in burning grain and as an image for a timely death.

The term denotes a gathered agricultural heap: it is burned alongside standing grain in Judges 15:5, and Job 5:26 uses such a heap in a comparison for coming to the grave in vigor. Exodus 22:5 places it in an agricultural-restoration setting, though the translation does not isolate its contribution.

    In Judges 15:5, the masculine singular absolute form occurs in the account of fire spreading from the heap to standing grain; the APB renders the clause “he burned from the stack to the standing grain.” In Job 5:26, the same form is the comparison point for coming to the grave in vigor, and the APB renders “like a stack that ascends in its time.” Exodus 22:5 places the form in a field-and-vineyard restitution case, but the APB renders the verse without an identifiable corresponding English term.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “stack” in Judges 15:5 and Job 5:26. In Exodus 22:5 it does not visibly isolate a corresponding English word; Its wording cannot settle the term's precise contribution there.
