**The whole BDB entry:** n.\[m.\] si vera l., thickness, compactness; — בְּמַעֲבֵה הָאֲדָמָה 1 K 7:46 in the compactness of the soil, i.e. clayey ground or clay mould = 2 Ch 4:17 (where MT בַּעֲבִי הָ׳); but read doubtless in both בְּמַעְבֶּרֶת אֲדָבָה at the ford of Adamah, v. GFM Ju 7:22 BenzK.

Why these entries: BDB: headword, part of speech agrees, 1 of its verses cited, 1 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, 1 with the glosses (1 candidates)
