Semantic domains 3 entries
- Sing002004001009006
- This entry carries no singing sense of its own; the domain is bundle-shared with the unrelated, closely-spelled root זִמְרָה (zimrâh, H2172) and does not reflect an independent attested usage — this lexeme instead denotes the choicest or best fruit of the land, as at Genesis 43:11 — "take some of the best products of the land in your bags."
- Strong002001001063
- This entry's own tagged occurrence names a fine product carried as a gift, not an independent “Strong” sense: “Then their father Israel said to them, ‘If it must be so, then do this: take some of the best products of the land in your bags’” (Genesis 43:11). This “Strong” domain is bundle-shared with the related lexemes זִמְרָה (zimrâh, H2172) and זִמְרָת (zimrâth, H2176) rather than independently attested here.
- Good002001001031
- זִמְרָה (in this distinct sense) denotes the best or choicest produce, a mark of goodness or excellence, as at Genesis 43:11 — "the best products of the land."
