יָשָׁן: adj. old Niph. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/tanakh/1497/3465/#m2)

**The whole BDB entry:** adj. old (orig., as it seems, withered, flabby, like a lifeless plant with top hanging down, as if in sleep; cf. Niph. supr., and NH יָשַׁן Pi. let a thing grow old)—יָשָׁן Lv 25:22 + 3 times; f. יְשָׁנָה Is 22:11 + 2 times; pl. יְשָׁנִים Ct 7:14;—old: הַבְּרֵכָה הַיְשָׁנָה Is 22:11; שַׁעַר הַיְשָׁנָה Ne 3:6; so 12:39; of choice fruits, Ct 7:14 (opp. חדשׁ); subst. old harvest, store, Lv 25:22(×2); 26:10(×2)

Why these entries: BDB: headword, part of speech agrees, 4 of its verses cited, 1 words shared with the glosses, lists its Strong's number (10 candidates); OSHB: headword, part of speech agrees, 1 words shared with the BDB entry, 1 with the glosses (7 candidates)
