### Brown–Driver–Briggs 1906

אַצִּיל: joining, joint [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/tanakh/1488/679/#m2)

**The whole BDB entry:** n.\[f.\] joining, joint (cf. ܝܰܨܺܝܠܴܐ elbow)—pl. cstr. אַצִּילֵי יד\[י\] Ez 13:18 (on יד cf. Sm Co);—joint of hand, i.e. elbow Ez 13:18; אַצִּילוֹת יָדֶיךָ Je 38:12 arm-joints.—אַצִֽילָה ׃ Ez 41:8 is obscure; perhaps א׳ is here a technical architectural term to the joining (cf. Sm Ke).

Why these entries: BDB: headword, part of speech agrees, 3 of its verses cited, 1 words shared with the glosses, lists its Strong's number (8 candidates); OSHB: headword, part of speech agrees, 1 words shared with the BDB entry, 0 with the glosses (6 candidates)
