בַּג a Persic word denoting food (باه, written in Arab. باج; comp. φάγειν, and Phryg. βέκος, bread, Herod. ii. 2), found in the compound word פַּתְבַּג (which see); and also Ezekiel 25:7, כתיב, נְתַתִּיךָ לְבַג לְגּוֹיִם “I will give thee as food for the nations.” The textual reading however appears to be not more genuine than the reading in Ezekiel 47:13, where גֶּה is written for זֶה (this); and from the comparison of similar phrases, Jeremiah 15:13, 17:3, especially Ezekiel 26:5, 34:28, I have no doubt but that with the ancient versions we should read לְבַז “for a spoil.” [So the ק׳.]
