pe.resh denotes animal refuse listed with sacrificial remains and, in rebuke, refuse associated with feasts.

The term most often identifies animal waste or offal listed alongside hide, flesh, and other remains of animals that are burned, including outside the camp. In Malachi 2:3, its two absolute forms occur in a rebuke describing refuse scattered on faces and associated with feasts.

1. Animal waste among sacrificial remains · dominant

   In Exodus 29:14, Leviticus 16:27, Leviticus 8:17, and Numbers 19:5, the construct-form noun is named with an animal's hide and flesh in clauses about burning the remains; the APB renders the listed item as "refuse." Leviticus 4:11 similarly places it after the bull's inward parts, where the APB renders "offal."

2. Refuse used in a rebuke · occasional

   In Malachi 2:3, two masculine singular absolute forms occur in the warning that refuse will be scattered upon faces, followed by "the refuse of your feasts" in the APB. The verse uses the material in a hostile act of rebuke rather than in a burning instruction.

   Malachi 2:3

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the sacrificial-remains verses, the APB usually presents the term as "refuse," but in Leviticus 4:11 it uses "offal." Malachi 2:3 also uses "refuse" twice; these are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
