tsam.muq denotes clusters included among food provisions and given to eat.

The attested plural noun denotes clusters supplied as food: they are listed with loaves, wine, grain, and fruit in provisions and are also given to a hungry man to eat.

Senses in use

  1. Food clusters in provisions · dominant

    All three occurrences use the masculine plural absolute form in lists or gifts of food. In 1 Samuel 25:18 the APB renders “one hundred clusters of raisins” among Abigail’s provisions; in 1 Samuel 30:12 it renders “two clusters of raisins” given to a man who ate; and in 2 Samuel 16:1 it renders “a hundred clusters of raisins” on the donkeys' load.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all three verses, the APB presents the item as “clusters of raisins” within food provisions or as food given to eat. This wording is treated as the verse-level presentation rather than a precise lexical equivalence.
