mer.qa.chah denotes seasoning in a cooking command and an unclear substance associated with flesh.

The clearest attested use places the noun in preparing flesh over a fire, while its other occurrence occurs in a description of flesh and does not permit a more specific contribution from the translation.

1. Seasoning in preparing flesh · dominant

   In Ezekiel 24:10, the feminine singular absolute noun occurs among commands to heap wood, kindle fire, finish the flesh, and mix the seasoning. The APB renders the clause "and mix the seasoning," confirming a culinary-preparation setting.

   Ezekiel 24:10
2. Substance associated with flesh · common

   In Job 41:23, the same feminine singular absolute form occurs in a statement about flesh that cleaves and something poured upon him. The APB's wording does not identify the noun's precise contribution, so its use here remains uncertain beyond its association with the described flesh.

   Job 41:23

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB plainly presents the term as "seasoning" in Ezekiel 24:10. In Job 41:23, its specific rendering cannot be isolated from the translated description of flesh and something "poured upon him."
