PULSE ( zçrô‘îm , Daniel 1:12; zçrô‘nîm , Daniel 1:16 RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] ‘herbs,’ cf. Isaiah 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 2 Samuel 17:28 ‘pulse’ is supplied after ‘parched,’ but ‘grain’ would be better. See also Food, § 3 .

E. W. G. Masterman.
