Summary

piggul is rendered "refuse". It stands 4 times in the Hebrew text, across three books.

  • Two of the uses stand in Leviticus, more than in any other book.
  • Its first use in canonical order opens the ledger below.Leviticus 7:18If any of the meat from his peace offering is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted. It will not be credited to the one who presented it; it shall be an abomination, and the one who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.
  • The Greek text spells it four different ways.

The first use

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.
