Where it appears

Psalms · 1

  1. Psalm 84:10 מִ֝דּ֗וּר more than dwelling

    For better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

    Here: 'More than dwelling'. This is a rare verb (as a verb, found only here in Biblical Hebrew, though common in Aramaic). It suggests settled, comfortable residence, which contrasts with standing at a doorstep.

Ezekiel · 1

  1. Ezekiel 24:5 דּ֥וּר pile up

    Take the choicest of the flock and pile the fuel beneath it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.’
