Near synonyms 1 word
- חֲרוּץ chărûwts · H2742 · gold, trench
- חֲרוּץ (chărûwts, H2742) is a highly polysemous word (decision, diligent, gold, pointed things, sharp, threshing instrument, wall), while פָּז (pâz, H6337) means only "fine" or "pure gold." The overlap is narrow: both share the sense of fine gold, so they are lexical alternatives only in the gold sense of חֲרוּץ (chărûwts, H2742).
