Senses in use

  1. Pouring onto human flesh · dominant

    The Qal imperfect form appears in a prohibition against an action upon human flesh. In Exodus 30:32 the APB renders the clause, “Upon the flesh of man it shall not be poured,” confirming the verse’s stated restriction.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Exodus 30:32, the APB presents the prohibited action with “shall not be poured.” This reflects the clause’s overall presentation rather than a precise lexical equation.
