1 JDG 19:21 MT-K ויבול | MT-Q וַיָּבָל 2 HOS 7:8 Here בלל could have a negative connotation, as in GEN 11:7,9. See the note in MacIntosh, who translates it as "vitiated", a meaning that would "fit this particular context and the reference to the spoiled cake better than the other sense of the verb, viz. ‘mix’, ‘mingle’, though the two senses are clearly related". HALOT suggests the meaning "to be thrown about", without explanation (the reference to Rudolph, which does not appear in HALAT, is misleading). 3 PSA 92:11 For a discussion, see the note in Tate.
