Summary

domen is rendered "dung". It stands 6 times in the Hebrew text, across three books.

  • Four of the uses stand in Jeremiah, more than in any other book.
  • Its first use in canonical order opens the ledger below.2 Kings 9:37And Jezebel’s body will lie like dung in the field on the plot of ground at Jezreel, so that no one can say: This is Jezebel.’”
  • The Greek text spells it four different ways.

The first use

And Jezebel’s body will lie like dung in the field on the plot of ground at Jezreel, so that no one can say: This is Jezebel.’”

2 Kings 9:37כְּדֹ֛מֶן

The first use, in the order of the Old Testament's books.

Where the word stands

The words built on the same word-part

Each word below begins with the same letters this one begins with. A shared word-part shows a family. It does not settle what any one of them means, so each word carries its own uses on its own page. Scholars call that shared part the stem.

How the numbers are counted

Every count on this page comes from STEP Bible's tagged Hebrew and Greek text, the same text the ledger prints. A use is counted once each time the tagging marks a word with this key.

Spellings are counted as the Greek text spells them, with the sentence's own punctuation taken off the word first, so a form that ends a clause is not counted as a second spelling.
