## Meaning

### OpenScriptures lexical index

be warm [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/tanakh/1495/2527/#m1)

### Brown–Driver–Briggs 1906

חֹם²: n.m. heat [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/tanakh/1495/2527/#m2)

**The whole BDB entry:** n.m.Je 17:8 heat;—חֹם abs. Gn 8:22 + 3 times + 1 S 21:7 (v. infrom); cstr. Gn 18:1 + 3 times; of heat of (mid-)day חֹם היום Gn 18:1 (J), 1 S 11:11; 2 S 4:5; in promise of regular seasons Gn 8:22 (opp. קֹר); cf. Is 18:4(×2) (ח׳ קָצִיר); but as dangerous to plant-life Je 17:8; it melts snow Jb 24:19; לֶחֶם חֹם 1 S 21:7 bread of heat = hot bread, read perhaps ל׳ חָם (as Jos 9:12).

Why these entries: BDB: another headword, part of speech agrees, 8 of its verses cited, 1 words shared with the glosses, lists its Strong's number (3 candidates); OSHB: same consonants, part of speech differs, 0 words shared with the BDB entry, 0 with the glosses (2 candidates)
