cha.rev describes something dry, whether an offering without oil or a morsel contrasted with a full house.

The two attestations describe dryness in concrete contexts: an offering set alongside one mixed with oil in Leviticus 7:10, and a morsel contrasted with a house full of contentious sacrifices in Proverbs 17:1.

Senses in use

  1. Dry in offerings and food · dominant

    Both occurrences use the feminine singular absolute adjective for something characterized as dry. In Leviticus 7:10 the APB renders an offering "mixed with oil and dry"; in Proverbs 17:1 it renders "a dry morsel" in contrast to a house full of sacrifices of strife.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with "dry" in both verses, once alongside an offering mixed with oil and once with a morsel. These renderings confirm the clauses' presentation rather than establish finer distinctions.
