מוּל

Notes: Passage: OET LEV 5:8
The way this word is used in this passage shows that the head of the bird is severed at the front but left attached to the rump at the back.; Passage: OET NUM 22:5
The reason why מוּל is preceded by מִן in this passage is not exactly clear | in view of the context the most plausible explanation is that Balak wants to stress the closeness of Israel | {A:NJB} and {A:REB} have brought this out clearly by using the expression "at my very door".; Passage: OET NEH 12:38
{A:HOTTP}-B {A:NIV} {A:NJPS} {A:CEV} מֹול | {A:MT} לְמֹואל | {A:RSV} {A:NJB} {A:NRSV} {A:REB} {A:GNT} "left" | the interpretation of {A:HOTTP}-B has probably been inspired by the gloss "opposite", which several English translations use to render the word מוּל | though "opposite" can be used to indicate the relative closeness of two locations (e.g. ), it should not be used to indicate opposite directions, which is outside of the scope of the meaning of this word | for that reason the interpretation of {A:RSV} et al. is to be preferred.; Passage: OET MIC 2:8
It is assumed, along with {A:HOTTP}-B that the אֶדֶר represents a piece of clothing that is worn over the שַׂלְמָה | see for instance TOB "... dessus la tunique, vous enlevez le manteau ..."
