yis.r.e.lit identifies a woman as Israelite in the account of her son in Leviticus 24.

The attested use identifies a woman as Israelite while describing her son, first in the conflict in the camp and then in the report of his cursing.

Senses in use

  1. Identification of an Israelite woman · dominant

    In Leviticus 24:10, the feminine singular gentilic forms identify the mother of the son who struggles in the camp; the APB renders the clause "The son of an Israelite woman went out." In Leviticus 24:11, the same form again identifies his mother as the report turns to the son's act and her name is supplied.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Leviticus 24:10 and Leviticus 24:11, the APB presents the woman through the repeated phrase "Israelite woman." The verse is read as a whole, but both verses use that description for the son's mother.
