This adjective describes something hot or warm, heated either by baking or by the sun. In Joshua 9:12, the Gibeonites claim their bread was hot (freshly baked) when they left home, though it has now become dry. In Job 37:17, it describes garments that become hot when the earth is still under the oppressive heat of the south wind. The word emphasizes temperature in both literal contexts—the warmth of fresh bread and the heat retained in clothing.
