Clod
In Job 7:5 (, gsh, , gush, a mass of earth), clods of dust, the crust of his sores, formed by the dry, swollen skin – a symptom of leprosy, though not peculiar to it. In Job 21:33; Job 38:38 (reghebh, a soft clod, lump of clay), The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, The clods cleave fast together. In Joe 1:17 (, meghraphah, a furrow, something thrown off (by the spade)), The seeds rot (m shrivel) under their clods.
Figurative: Jacob shall break his clods (Hos 10:11), i.e. must harrow for himself, used figuratively of spiritual discipline (compare Isa 28:24 the King James Version).
