tse.chi.ach describes an exposed rocky surface, including a place left without its dust or covering.

The attested use describes an exposed rocky surface: blood is placed on it without covering in Ezekiel 24:7 and Ezekiel 24:8, and Tyre is made into such a surface when its dust is scraped away in Ezekiel 26:4 and Ezekiel 26:14. The plural form in Nehemiah 4:7 occurs in a clause about breaches in Jerusalem's wall, but the translation does not isolate its contribution clearly.

1. Exposed rocky surface · dominant

   The singular construct form occurs where blood is placed on a surface and not covered in Ezekiel 24:7 and Ezekiel 24:8; the APB renders the clause with "bare rock." In Ezekiel 26:4 and Ezekiel 26:14, the same form describes the result after dust is scraped away, again rendered "bare rock."

2. Plural occurrence in a wall-repair clause · rare

   The plural absolute form occurs in Nehemiah 4:7 within the report that Jerusalem's breaches had begun to be closed. The APB does not make the term's specific contribution identifiable beyond that clause context.

   Nehemiah 4:7

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Ezekiel 24:7, Ezekiel 24:8, Ezekiel 26:4, and Ezekiel 26:14, the APB uses "bare rock." In Nehemiah 4:7, its loose whole-verse rendering does not clearly isolate the term.
