# rumen

noun

«rumen» 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

Interpretation: Sefer Yetzirah lists it among the body's twelve leaders and links it with the letter Ayin and the month of Tevet, though commentators find this puzzling.

### Meaning

The rumen is the first and largest stomach of a cow, sheep or goat, where swallowed food is first stored and softened. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/R/rumen/#m1)

### Examples

- He made the letter ʽAyin reign, and bound to it a crown, and formed with it Capricorn in the World, and Tevet in the Year, and the rumen in the Person. (Sefer Yetzirah, Sefaria community translation) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/R/rumen/#x1)
- And these are the Twelve Leaders in the Person: two hands, two legs, two kidneys, spleen, liver, gall, rumen, abomasum, craw. \[note 2: Identification of the latter four terms is very strange.
