Semantic domains 2 entries
- Trees001002007002
- This lexeme has no tagged occurrence in the running text of the tagged critical edition, so this “Trees” domain is bundle-shared with the related lexeme בֶּשֶׂם (besem, H1314) rather than independently attested here.
- Spices001002005014
- Likewise, the spice/perfume sense is grounded via the cognate בֶּשֶׂם (besem, H1314)'s own well-attested usage (e.g. the spices of the anointing oil in Exodus 30:23), since this exact form has no tagged occurrence of its own to cite.
