To remain over, be in excess; the surplus or remainder (used of curtains, food, money, and persons)

A verb used almost entirely as a participle functioning as a substantive -- 'the remainder,' 'the surplus,' 'what is left over.' It appears prominently in the tabernacle instructions, where the excess curtain material must be accounted for (Exod 26:12-13), and in the manna narrative, where gathered food must not have leftover (Exod 16:18, 23). Spanish 'el sobrante' (the leftover) and French 'le surplus' directly mirror the Hebrew participial usage. The single Hiphil occurrence in Exodus 16:18 shifts from description to action: 'he who gathered much had no excess,' marking the miracle of perfectly proportioned provision.

Senses

1. remain over, be in excess (Qal ptcp.) — Qal participle used substantively for what remains over or is in excess. Covers the surplus curtain fabric in the tabernacle (Exod 26:12-13), leftover food from the manna (Exod 16:23), the excess in a field's redemption price (Lev 25:27), and the surplus firstborn of Israel beyond the Levites (Num 3:46, 48-49). Spanish 'el sobrante/la sobrante' and English 'the excess/the remainder' consistently render the participial sense of 'that which is left over.' 8×

2. have excess (Hiphil) — A single Hiphil perfect in Exodus 16:18 meaning 'to have a surplus, to have gathered in excess.' Unlike the participial descriptions of surplus as a static state, this form captures the active result of gathering -- 'the one who gathered much did not have excess (he'edif).' It stands in deliberate contrast to its antonym hechsir ('had too little'), underscoring the miraculous equalization of the manna. 1×
