בְּרִי f. בִּרְיָה adj. (from the root בָּרָה) fat, i.q. בָּרִיא, comp. the root No. 2. Ezekiel 34:20, שֶׂה בִרְיָה “fat sheep,” where perhaps we should read בְּרִיָה. Three MSS. have בְּרִיאָה. In the words, Job 37:11, אַף בְּרִי יַטְרִיחַ עָב not a few interpreters, following the Ch. and the Rabbins, render בְּרִי “purity,” specially “serenity” of the sky (Targ. בְּרִירוּתָא), and they render the whole clause, “serenity also dispels the cloud;” another interpretation given below (see טָרַח ) is, however, preferable.
