This word appears in the Ketiv (written text) of Isaiah 65:4, but is widely considered a textual corruption. The phrase reads literally 'and fragment of abominations in their vessels,' which makes limited sense. The Qere (read aloud) and most modern translations follow the emendation to מְרַק (maraq), meaning 'broth,' yielding 'broth of abominable things in their vessels.' The context describes syncretistic religious practices: sitting in tombs, spending nights in secret places, eating pig's flesh. The reference to broth of impure animals fits the catalogue of violations. The fragmentary state of the Ketiv reading itself suggests scribal error.
