cha.mets describes dough becoming leavened and, in one reflective clause, a heart becoming embittered.

The attested use chiefly concerns dough becoming leavened in the Exodus and Hosea clauses; one Hithpael occurrence occurs in Psalm 73:21, where the APB presents the speaker’s heart as embittered.

1. Dough becoming leavened · dominant

   In Exodus 12:34, the Qal imperfect occurs in the statement that the people took their dough before it was leavened; Exodus 12:39 uses a Qal perfect in explaining that the dough had not been leavened. In Hosea 7:4, the Qal infinitive construct marks the point from kneading dough until it is leavened; the APB renders that clause “until it is leavened.”

2. A heart becoming embittered · rare

   Psalm 73:21 uses the Hithpael imperfect in the clause concerning the speaker’s heart; the APB renders the verse, “When my heart was embittered and I was pierced in my kidneys.” The specific English correspondence is read at the verse level, but the clause supports a figurative use distinct from dough.

   Psalm 73:21

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the Exodus and Hosea clauses with “leavened,” including “had not been leavened” and “until it is leavened,” while Psalm 73:21 speaks of a heart “embittered.” Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these renderings confirm the clauses’ overall presentation rather than assigning each English word mechanically.
