Genesis 48:7
וַ אֲנִי בְּ בֹאִי מִ פַּדָּן מֵתָה עָלַי רָחֵל בְּ אֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן בַּ דֶּרֶךְ בְּ עֹוד כִּבְרַת אֶרֶץ לָ בֹא אֶפְרָתָה וָ אֶקְבְּרֶהָ שָּׁם בְּ דֶרֶךְ אֶפְרָת הִוא בֵּית לָחֶם
`And myself in my coming in from Highland, Ewe has died upon me in the earth of Humbled, in the Road, in again a kibrath1336 of earth to come in Fruitful-ward, and I am burying her there in the road of Fruitful, himself is House-of-Bread.`
| 1336 | Strong’s #3530, kibrat. Feminine. Great one? This is a word for a certain measure just as many other words denote measure, weight, and time. But it is unknown what the measure is from the three occurrences (Gen. 35:16, 48:7, 2 Kin. 5:19). A clue might be found in the root kabar (#3527) which means to plait, braid. See Gesenius. |
