# putrid

adjective

«putrid» in the English dictionary: in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## In Jewish tradition

Ecclesiastes uses it for spoiled ointment. Ezekiel uses it for the salty Dead Sea, whose waters are healed.

**Interpretation.** Ecclesiastes says a little folly can spoil great wisdom. Ezekiel's river flowing from the Temple heals the sea and is read as a sign of future renewal.
