1. mingle, confuse (object שָׂפָה = speech, language, which see) Genesis 11:7, 9 (J).
2. mix (cakes or flour, etc. always with oil) technical term of sacrifice, only P (H Leviticus 23:13), compare Di on Leviticus 2:4; usually as מנחה, בַּשֶּׁמֶן׳ סֹלֶת בּ׳ Exodus 29:40; Leviticus 2:5; Leviticus 14:10, 21; Leviticus 23:13; Numbers 7:13, 19, 25, 31, 37, 43, 49, 55, 61, 67, 73, 79; Numbers 8:8; Numbers 15:4, 6, 9; Numbers 28:5, 9, 12 (twice in verse); Numbers 28:13; Numbers 28:20; Numbers 28:28; Numbers 29:3; Numbers 23:9; Numbers 23:14, בשׁ׳ מנחה ב׳ Leviticus 7:10 (opposed to חֲרֵבָה) Leviticus 9:4, בשׁ׳ חַלּוֺת מַצּוֺת ב׳ Exodus 29:2; Leviticus 7:12 (twice in verse), i.e. made by mixing with oil; סלת בשׁ׳ חלות מצות ב׳ Leviticus 2:4, בשׁ׳ סלת חלות ב׳ Numbers 6:15, i.e. fine flour (in the form) of cakes so made. ַבּ֫לֹּתִָּֽי בְּשֶׁמֶן רַעֲנָן Psalm 92:11 I shall be (am) anointed with fresh oil AV RV; verb not elsewhere in this sense; Hup Che read בְּלֹתִי from בלה, infinitive construct suffix, abstract for concrete, my wasting = my wasting strength, of declining age; Israel under figure of old man; this however is not favoured by context. The passage is therefore doubtful.
