In the older literature it is distinguished from מִנְחָה and עֹלָה, in the later literature from חַטָּאת and אָשָׁם.
general name for all sacrifices eaten at feasts:* Phoenician זבח of an offering of bread and oil CIS i. 165. 12; 167. 8, compare Robertson SmithSem 205 (2nd ed. 222)
of other deities Shemos 34:15 Bamidbar 25:2 Devarim 32:38 Shoftim 16:23 Melachim Beis 10:19, Melachim Beis 10:24 Hoshea 4:19 Yeshaya 57:7 Yechezkel 20:28; these are זִבְחֵי מֵתִים sacrifices to dead things (lifeless gods, opposite to י׳ as living) Tehillim 106:28.
there are several kinds of זְבָחִים which are gradually distinguished:
the covenant sacrifice, between Jacob and Laban Breishis 31:54, with God Tehillim 50:5 (compare Shemos 24:5 Shmuel Alef 11:5).
the passover זֶבַח חַג הַפֶּסַח Shemos 34:25, זבח פסח Shemos 12:27; and probably also זבחי Shemos 23:18 = Shemos 34:25 (the same)
annual sacrifice זֶבַח הַיָּמִים Shmuel Alef 1:21; Shmuel Alef 2:19; Shmuel Alef 20:6, compare ז׳ מִשְׁפָּחָה sacrifice of the clan Shmuel Alef 20:29.
thank offering ז׳ (הַ)תּוֹדָה Vayikra 7:12; Vayikra 22:29 Tehillim 107:22; Tehillim 116:17, which is given as ז׳ קָרְבָּנוֹ, זִבְחוֹ, הַזָּבַח Vayikra 7:16, Vayikra 7:17; and as a variety of שְׁלָמִים Vayikra 7:13, Vayikra 7:15; it is implied in זִבְחֵי תְרוּעָה Tehillim 27:6; yet זֶבַח is generic with תּוֹדָה Divrei HaYamim Beis 29:31(×2).
in ritual of H & P זבחים are defined by שׁלמים (q.see) Vayikra 3:1 + 39 times Lv Nu, Shmuel Alef 10:8 Melachim Alef 8:63 Divrei HaYamim Beis 30:22; Divrei HaYamim Beis 33:16 Mishlei 7:14, but sometimes (rarely) ז׳ alone is used in this sense, with or without suffix, where the meaning is plain from the context: Vayikra 17:5, Vayikra 17:7, Vayikra 17:8; Vayikra 19:6; Vayikra 23:37 Bamidbar 15:3, Bamidbar 15:5, Bamidbar 15:8 Yehoshua 22:26, Yehoshua 22:29 (all P). These ritual offerings are of three varieties תּוֹדָה, נֶדֶר and נְדָבָה Vayikra 7:12, Vayikra 7:16; in the several lists זבחים are distinguished from תודות Amos 4:4 Divrei HaYamim Beis 29:31, from נדרים Bamidbar 15:8 Devarim 12:6, Devarim 12:11 Yonah 1:16, from נדבות Amos 4:4 Devarim 12:6 and from the more comprehensive שׁלמים Bamidbar 15:8 Yehoshua 22:27. So also the sacrifice at the institution of the covenant at Horeb Shemos 24:5 and the sacrifice at the installation of Saul Shmuel Alef 11:15 are defined as †זבחים שׁלמים. Thus ז׳ seems not only to be used for all these special forms but also to include other festal sacrifices not defined in the codes of law. The ritual was the same for the entire class. They were all sacrifices for feasts in which the flesh of the victim was eaten by the offerers, except so far as the officiating priests had certain choice pieces and the blood and fat pieces went to the altar for God. The sacrifice at the institution of the covenant at Horeb, the Passover victim, and the ram of consecration, were special, in that there was an application of a portion of the blood to the persons and things which were to be consecrated, Shemos 12:22; Shemos 24:8 Vayikra 8:23.
the slaughter of hostile nations is also a זֶבַח offered by God Himself, in which the vultures devour the flesh of the victims Yeshaya 34:6 Yirmiya 46:10 Yechezkel 39:17(×2), Yechezkel 39:19 Tzefania 1:7, Tzefania 1:8.
the verb used with זֶבַח is ordinarily זָבַח but others also are found for example †עָשָׂה Bamidbar 6:17; Bamidbar 15:3, Bamidbar 15:5, Bamidbar 15:8 Yehoshua 22:23 Melachim Alef 12:27; Melachim Beis 5:17; Melachim Beis 10:24 Yirmiya 33:18 (compare Sabean עסי דֿבח Hal 148 D.H.

Alike in Hebrew and the other dialects, the corresp. plur. is derived from a different source: Hebrew אֵלָּה, Phoenician אל, Ethiopic ’ellū, ’ellā, these, ’ella, who, Arabic أُولَى, these, أُولُوا, أُولَى owners of, Sabean אלן these, אל, אלי who, which, Aramaic אִלֵּין, with הא lo! prefixed, ܗܳܠܶܝܢ, Sam. ࠀࠋࠉࠍ, Mand. עלין.

(Cf. זוּ Chavakuk 1:11.)

(β) with the art., הַזֶּה, הַזֹּאת, after a noun determained also by the art., Breishis 7:1 בַּדּוֹר הַזֶּה, v Breishis 7:13 הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה, Breishis 12:7 הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת, Breishis 15:7; Breishis 17:21, Breishis 17:23 Devarim 4:6 הגוי הגדול הזה, and continually. Not however after a proper name, except such as are construed with the art., as הַיַּרְדֵּן הַזֶּה Breishis 32:11 Devarim 3:27; Devarim 31:2 Yehoshua 1:2, Yehoshua 1:11; Yehoshua 4:22, הַלְּבָנוֹן הַזֶּה Yehoshua 1:4, compare Bamidbar 27:12 = Devarim 32:49 (Melachim Beis 5:20 הַזֶּה belongs to הָאֲרַמִּי): and hardly ever (Divrei HaYamim Beis 1:10) after a noun with a pron. affix (Yehoshua 2:17 מִשְּׁבֻעָתֵךְ הַזֶּה the gender of הזה shews that the text is in error: see Driver§ 209 Obs.).

It is attached enclitically, almost as an adverb, to certain words, especially interrog. pronouns, to impart, in a manner often not reproducible in Engl. idiom, directness and force, bringing the question or statement made into close relation with the speaker. (Contrast from this point of view מי זה and מי הוא: see הוא 4 b.) Thus
אֵי־זֶה15 where, then? Iyov 28:12 אֵי־זֶה מְקוֹם בִּינָה, v Iyov 28:20 Iyov 38:19 b (see other exx. under אַי 1 b, p. 32).

Aramaic מָדֵין why? ܡܳܕܶܝܢ used as a conjunction therefore, for example Shmuel Beis 18:22 Peshitta, Payne Smith (Syriac Thesaurus)2013: both formed similarly.)
מַה־זֹּאת in the phrase (עֲשִׂיתֶם, עָשִׂית) מַה־זֹּאת עָשִׂיתָ Breishis 3:13; Breishis 12:18; Breishis 26:10; Breishis 29:25; Breishis 42:28 Shemos 14:11 Shoftim 2:2 Shoftim 15:11 +.

In poetry, as a relative pron. (rare: but see also זוֹ, זוּ): Tehillim 74:2 athe hill of Zion זה שׁכנת בּוֹ wherein thou dwellest, Tehillim 78:54; Tehillim 104:8 אל־מְקום זה to the place (st. c.

In some of the passages cited the punctuators, by coupling זה with the preceding noun, and separating it from what follows by a disj. accent (as הַר־זֶ֝֗ה), appear not to have recognised its relative sense, but to have construed, ‘this mountain, (which) thy right hand,’ etc.
