fleece) — גֵּז Psalm 72:6, also construct Deuteronomy 18:4; Job 31:20; plural construct גִּזֵּי Amos 7:1; — shearing = thing sheared off, wool, fleece צאֹן׳ג Deuteronomy 18:4, כְּבָשַׂי׳ג Job 31:20; mowing Amos 7:1 (הַמֶּלֶךְ׳ג compare RS Semitic i. 228); = land to be mown Psalm 72:6 (but shearing in both, according to Hoffm ZAW 1883,116 ff. SS).
גֵּז m. (from the root גָּזַז), pl. const. גִּזֵּי.
(1) [“a shearing, meton.”] shorn wool of sheep, a fleece; Deuteronomy 18:4, רֵאשִׁית גֵּז צֹאנְךָ “the firstfruits of the fleece of thy sheep,” Job 31:20 compare גִּזָּה.
(2) [“a mowing, e. g.”] a mown meadow, Psalms 72:6; Amos 7:1, גִּזֵּי הַמֶּלֶךְ “the king’s mowings.” This apparently signifies the firstfruits of the hay, which the kings of Israel perhaps required.
