**The whole BDB entry:** n.\[m.\] a possession;—cstr. מוֹרַשׁ קִפֹּד Is 14:23 a possession for bitterns; וְיָֽרְשׁוּ בֵּית יַעֲקֹב אֵת מוֹרָשֵׁיהֶם Ob 17 and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions (but read perhaps מורישׁיהם their dispossessors, 𝔊 𝔙 𝔗 al.); fig. מוֹרָשֵׁי לְבָבִי Jb 17:11, i.e. my cherished thoughts (‖ זִמּוֹתַי), but fig. is questionable, v. Di, who derives from ארשׁ desire, so Buhl.
