Subjects in this Topic:
PULSE (zçrô‘îm, Dan_1:12; zçrô‘nîm, Dan_1:16 RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] ‘herbs,’ cf. Isa_61:11 EV [Note: English Version.] ‘things that are sown’) may have been any garden produce. The Eng. word ‘pulse’ belongs to leguminous grains specially, but it is doubtful whether the meaning of the Heb. can be so restricted. In 2Sa_17:28 ‘pulse’ is supplied after ‘parched,’ but ‘grain’ would be better. See also Food, § 3.
