| Easton's Bible Dictionary (Hebrews yothe'reth; i.e., "something redundant"), the membrane which covers the upper part of the liver (Exodus 29:13, 22; Leviticus 3:4, 10, 15; 4:9; 7:4; marg., "midriff"). In Hosea 13:8 (Hebrews seghor; i.e., "an enclosure") the pericardium, or parts about the heart, is meant. Noah Webster's Dictionary 1. (n.) A covering of network for the head, worn by women; also, a net. 2. (n.) The fold of membrane loaded with fat, which covers more or less of the intestines in mammals; the great omentum. See Omentum. 3. (n.) A part of the amnion, one of the membranes enveloping the fetus, which sometimes is round the head of a child at its birth. Int. Standard Bible Encyclopedia CAUL kol:
(1) yothereth (Exodus 29:13), the large lobe or flap of the liver, which is usually mentioned together with the kidneys and the fat as the special portions set aside for the burnt offering (Leviticus 3:4, 10, 15; Leviticus 4:9; Leviticus 7:4; Leviticus 8:16, 25; 9:10, 19).
(2) ceghor (from the root caghar, "to enclose," "shut up"), Hosea 13:8, literally the enclosure or covering of the heart, the caul or pericardium, or perhaps the chest as surrounding the heart. It must not be forgotten, however, that the expression may be taken in the sense of "mailcoat of the heart," i.e. hardened heart, which is shut to the influence of God's grace. So Luther and many modern translators and commentators.
