Senses in use

  1. Fine flour as food and offering material · dominant

    In Leviticus 2:1 the absolute singular noun names the material of a grain offering, to which oil and frankincense are added; in Leviticus 2:4 it is the material for oven-baked unleavened loaves or wafers. Numbers 28:13 specifies a measured amount mixed with oil for the lamb's grain offering, while Genesis 18:6 places it in Sarah's preparation of loaves. In 2 Kings 7:1 the APB renders a seah of this material in a stated sale price at Samaria's gate.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB regularly presents the term as "fine flour" in clauses about offerings, bread preparation, food, and sale. These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than establish finer distinctions.
