מַהְפֶּ֫כֶת: n.f. stocks [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/tanakh/1502/4115/#m2)

**The whole BDB entry:** n.f. stocks or similar instrum. of punishment (compelling crooked posture, or distorting), mentioned rather late; as punishment for Jeremiah הַמּ׳ אֲשֶׁר בְּשַׁעַר בִּנְיָמִן Je 20:2 (𝔊 εἰς τὸν καταράκτην κ.τ.λ.), cf. אֶל־הַמּ׳ 29:26 (𝔊 εἰς τὸ ἀπόκλεισμα; ‖ אֶל־הַצִּינֹק, 𝔊 εἰς τὸν καταράκτην, but order of words perhaps reversed in 𝔊); הַמַּהְפָּ֑כֶת 20:3; בֵּית הַמַּהְפֶּכֶת assigned also to Asa’s time 2 Ch 16:10 (𝔊 εἰς φυλακήν; 𝔊L εἰς οἶκον φυλακῆς; cf. Acts 16:24, where εἰς ρὴν ἐσωτέραν φυλακήν, + εἰς τὸ ζύλον).

Why these entries: BDB: headword, part of speech agrees, 4 of its verses cited, 0 words shared with the glosses, lists its Strong's number (2 candidates); OSHB: headword, part of speech agrees, 1 words shared with the BDB entry, 0 with the glosses (1 candidates)
