tsa.ah denotes excrement in contexts of camp cleanliness and food baked on human excrement.

The two attestations use the noun for excrement: one concerns an indecent matter in the camp, and the other explicitly describes human excrement used in baking.

Senses in use

  1. Excrement in camp and baking contexts · dominant

    Both occurrences show a feminine singular construct noun in contexts involving excrement. In Deuteronomy 23:14 the APB renders the surrounding warning about God seeing “any indecent matter” in the camp; in Ezekiel 4:12 it explicitly renders the baking material as “human excrement.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term less explicitly in Deuteronomy 23:14 as “any indecent matter,” while Ezekiel 4:12 explicitly says “human excrement.” The precise correspondence in the first verse remains less certain.
