A rare term describing a physical defect that disqualified animals from sacrifice under Levitical law. Paired with 'overgrown' in Leviticus 22:23, it describes an animal either too small or malformed. The root suggests something 'drawn in' or contracted. Together with its paired term, these defects meant the animal could be given as a freewill offering but not for fulfilling a vow, reflecting standards for sacred gifts. The precise deformity is uncertain, but the broader principle is clear: offerings to God should not be whatever remains after taking the best for ourselves.
