cha.nat refers chiefly to treatment of the dead in Genesis, with a separate occurrence in a fig-tree clause in Song of Songs.

The dominant attested use is in Genesis, where the verb occurs in actions performed on Joseph's father and on Joseph after death; Song of Songs 2:13 places a feminine singular form in a clause about the fig tree, though the translation does not isolate the term's precise contribution there.

1. Treatment of the dead · dominant

   In Genesis 50:2, the Qal infinitive construct occurs in Joseph's command to the physicians concerning his father; the APB renders the ensuing action as "to embalm his father" and "the physicians embalmed Israel." In Genesis 50:26, the Qal sequential imperfect, third masculine plural, describes what "they" did after Joseph died; the APB renders the clause "they embalmed him."

2. Fig-tree clause · rare

   In Song of Songs 2:13, the Qal perfect, third feminine singular, occurs with the fig tree in a seasonal description. The APB renders the verse, "The fig tree has put forth its figs," but, as a whole-verse translation, it does not make the term's specific English contribution certain.

   Song of Songs 2:13

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the Genesis clauses with "embalm" language, while Song of Songs 2:13 is rendered as the fig tree having "put forth its figs." The Song rendering cannot securely identify a single English equivalent for the term.
