How it’s used
Every occurrence, grouped by the words it is grammatically related to.
When two words share a role, as in “Paul and Barnabas said”, the verse appears under each, so a section’s counts can add up to more than the number of occurrences.

Near synonyms 3 words
- דַּל dal · H1800 · door, poor, weak
- Both words can describe physical thinness or leanness. דַּל (dal, H1800) has a wider range (lean, poor, weak), while רָזֶה (râzeh, H7330) is narrower, meaning lean only.
- רַק raq · H7534 · thin, fine, gaunt
- The "Thin" domain is small and specific. רַק (raq, H7534) has additional particle/function uses ("only," "but") in other domains, but its adjectival "lean/thin" sense genuinely overlaps with רָזֶה (râzeh, H7330)'s core meaning. This is true same-language near-synonymy.
- דַּק daq · H1851 · thin, fine, gaunt
- Both words overlap in the sense "thin" and "lean."
Semantic domains 2 entries
- Thin002001001064
- The word means lean, directly illustrated by the LORD's judgment "between the fat sheep and the lean sheep" (Ezekiel 34:20); its other sampled citation renders the same paired "fat or lean" question about the land's produce as "productive or unproductive" rather than the literal contrast (Numbers 13:20), reflecting a translation choice rather than a different sense.
- Bad002001001006
- This domain is not independently illustrated by the sampled citations, which concern physical leanness rather than moral badness.
