Senses in use

  1. Food prepared by fire · dominant

    In Exodus 12:8 and Exodus 12:9, the construct noun occurs in instructions for eating flesh, with Exodus 12:9 setting this preparation against eating it raw or boiled in water; the APB renders the clauses “roasted with fire.” In Isaiah 44:16, the absolute form occurs in the account of roasting meat and eating it; the APB renders that action as “he roasts meat and eats.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the Exodus clauses as “roasted with fire” and Isaiah 44:16 as roasting meat. These renderings confirm the clauses' fire-preparation context rather than assign a separate English equivalent in each verse.
