Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

I. [גָּרַם] verb lay aside, leave, save ** meaning dubious; ? cut off, hence reserve (Late Hebrew גָּרַם is shorten, occasion, bring about, to pass, Aramaic גְּרַם Pa`el occasion, bring about,

abscidit, decrevit, compare also Arabic

cut off (fruit), shear (sheep); — on connection of ideas see Fl NHWB^{i. 437})

Qal Perfect 3 plural לֹא גָָֽרְמוּ לַבֹּקֶר Zephaniah 3:3 they have left nothing for the morrow, in figure of cruel judges (dubious: al. from II. [גָּרַם], see Kau^AT Dr).

Pi`el Imperfect וְעַצְמֹתֵיהֶם יְגָרֵם Numbers 24:8 (JE); but also וְאֶתחֲֿרָשֶׂיהָ תְּגָרֵ֖מִי Ezekiel 23:34 (yet on text see Co.)

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

גָּרַם pr. to cut off, like the Syr. ܓܪܡ, and Arab. جَرَمَ. In the Old Testament once followed by a dat. [“to cut off for”] to reserve, to lay up. Zephaniah 3:3, לֹא גָֽרְמוּ לַבֹּקֶר “they lay up nothing for the morrow.” Well rendered by the LXX. οὐχ ὑπελίποντο. Vulg. non relinquebant ad mane. Comp. אָצַל לְ Genesis 27:36, also جزم Koran 11:87.

Piel גֵּרֵם (denom. from גֶּרֶם), to gnaw bones. Numbers 24:8, “he shall devour the nations his enemies, וְעַצְמוֹתֵיהֶם יְגָרֵם and he shall gnaw their bones.” Hence figuratively, Ezekiel 23:34, “thou shalt drink and suck it (the cup) out, וְאֶת־חֲרָשֶׂיהָ תְּגָרֵמִי and thou shalt gnaw the sherds,” i.e. thou shalt lick, lest a single drop of wine be left therein.
