פְּדוּיִם: pl.abstr. ransom Qal [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/tanakh/1508/6302/#m2)

**The whole BDB entry:** n.\[m.\]pl.abstr. ransom;—so read perhaps Nu 3:49 for MT פִּדְיוֹם, Sam. פדוים; cstr. פְדוּיֵי v 48; for other poss. cases v. Qal Pt. pass.

Why these entries: BDB: same consonants, part of speech agrees, 2 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 (2 candidates)
