Genesis 31:10
וַ יְהִי בְּ עֵת יַחֵם הַ צֹּאן וָ אֶשָּׂא עֵינַי וָ אֵרֶא בַּ חֲלֹום וְ הִנֵּה הָ עַתֻּדִים הָ עֹלִים עַל הַ צֹּאן עֲקֻדִּים נְקֻדִּים וּ בְרֻדִּים
`And he is becoming in the time of the Sheep heating, and I am lifting up my eyes and seeing in the Bonded-one,997 and behold, the Ascending Chiefs998 upon the Sheep, are banded,999 marked, and spotted.1000
| 1000 | Strong’s #1261, barod. Adjective. Marked, speckled. The root of this adjective is barad which means to hail. This contrasts with naqod, speckled which is based on an unused root meaning to mark (by puncturing or branding). Because the word noqed appears in 2 Kings 3:4 and Amos 1:1 and means sheep dealer (#5349) or literally a “spotter” naqod (#5348) is translated as spotted. |
