Judges 16:23 sacrifice, ז׳ absolute Genesis 31:54 +; construct Exodus 34:25 +; זָ֑בַח Leviticus 17:8 + 16 times; with suffix זִבְחוֹ Leviticus 7:16 Ezekiel 34:15, זִבְחֲכֶם Leviticus 19:6; plural זְבָחִים Genesis 46:1 +; construct זִבְחֵי Leviticus 17:5 +; with suffix 3rd masculine plural זִבְחֵיהֶם Leviticus 17:5, זְבָחֵימוֹ Deuteronomy 32:38, זִבְחוֹתָםHosea 4:19 etc.;—the common and most ancient sacrifice, whose essential rite was eating the flesh of the victim at a feast in which the god of the clan shared by receiving the blood and fat pieces. 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 Exodus 34:15 Numbers 25:2 Deuteronomy 32:38 Judges 16:23 II Kings 10:19, II Kings 10:24 Hosea 4:19 Isaiah 57:7 Ezekiel 20:28; these are זִבְחֵי מֵתִים sacrifices to dead things (lifeless gods, opposite to י׳ as living) Psalms 106:28.
there are several kinds of זְבָחִים which are gradually distinguished:
the covenant sacrifice, between Jacob and Laban Genesis 31:54, with God Psalms 50:5 (compare Exodus 24:5 I Samuel 11:5).
the passover זֶבַח חַג הַפֶּסַח Exodus 34:25, זבח פסח Exodus 12:27; and probably also זבחי Exodus 23:18 = Exodus 34:25 (the same)
annual sacrifice זֶבַח הַיָּמִים I Samuel 1:21; I Samuel 2:19; I Samuel 20:6, compare ז׳ מִשְׁפָּחָה sacrifice of the clan I Samuel 20:29.
thank offering ז׳ (הַ)תּוֹדָה Leviticus 7:12; Leviticus 22:29 Psalms 107:22; Psalms 116:17, which is given as ז׳ קָרְבָּנוֹ, זִבְחוֹ, הַזָּבַח Leviticus 7:16, Leviticus 7:17; and as a variety of שְׁלָמִים Leviticus 7:13, Leviticus 7:15; it is implied in זִבְחֵי תְרוּעָה Psalms 27:6; yet זֶבַח is generic with תּוֹדָה II Chronicles 29:31(×2).
in ritual of H & P זבחים are defined by שׁלמים (q.see) Leviticus 3:1 + 39 times Lv Nu, I Samuel 10:8 I Kings 8:63 II Chronicles 30:22; II Chronicles 33:16 Proverbs 7:14, but sometimes (rarely) ז׳ alone is used in this sense, with or without suffix, where the meaning is plain from the context: Leviticus 17:5, Leviticus 17:7, Leviticus 17:8; Leviticus 19:6; Leviticus 23:37 Numbers 15:3, Numbers 15:5, Numbers 15:8 Joshua 22:26, Joshua 22:29 (all P). These ritual offerings are of three varieties תּוֹדָה, נֶדֶר and נְדָבָה Leviticus 7:12, Leviticus 7:16; in the several lists זבחים are distinguished from תודות Amos 4:4 II Chronicles 29:31, from נדרים Numbers 15:8 Deuteronomy 12:6, Deuteronomy 12:11 Jonah 1:16, from נדבות Amos 4:4 Deuteronomy 12:6 and from the more comprehensive שׁלמים Numbers 15:8 Joshua 22:27. So also the sacrifice at the institution of the covenant at Horeb Exodus 24:5 and the sacrifice at the installation of Saul I Samuel 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, Exodus 12:22; Exodus 24:8 Leviticus 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 Isaiah 34:6 Jeremiah 46:10 Ezekiel 39:17(×2), Ezekiel 39:19 Zephaniah 1:7, Zephaniah 1:8.
the verb used with זֶבַח is ordinarily זָבַח but others also are found for example †עָשָׂה Numbers 6:17; Numbers 15:3, Numbers 15:5, Numbers 15:8 Joshua 22:23 I Kings 12:27; II Kings 5:17; II Kings 10:24 Jeremiah 33:18 (compare Sab. עסי דֿבח Hal 148 DHMZMG 1888, 374); †הֵבִיא Amos 4:4 Deuteronomy 12:6, Deuteronomy 12:11 Jeremiah 17:26, †הִגִּישׁ Amos 5:25, †הִקְרִיב Leviticus 7:11, Leviticus 7:16; Leviticus 22:21 (all P), †עָבַד Isaiah 19:21, †נָתַן Ecclesiastes 4:17, יַעֲלָה עֹלָה אוֹ זֶבַח Leviticus 17:8, בִּשֵּׁל ז׳ Ezekiel 46:24, שָׁחַט אֶת־הָעוֹלָה וְהַזָּ֑בַח Ezekiel 40:42 compare Ezekiel 44:11.

In a purely neuter sense (of an act, event, announcement, etc.) זאת is most common, as with עשׂה to do this Genesis 3:14; Genesis 20:5, Genesis 20:6; Genesis 45:19 and often, שׁמעו זאת Amos 8:4 Isaiah 47:8; Isaiah 48:1, Isaiah 48:16; Isaiah 51:21 al.; Genesis 41:39 Exodus 17:14 Deuteronomy 32:6 Judges 7:14; Judges 21:3 לָמָההָֽיְתָה זֹאת (compare Job 1:13 Psalms 118:23) I Kings 11:39 II Samuel 7:19 II Kings 3:18 +; אֵין זֹאת I Samuel 20:2 compare Amos 2:11; rarely so with אֶת־Joshua 22:24 Jeremiah 9:11 Psalms 92:7; as an accus. of limit., as regards this, in this, Ezekiel 20:27; Ezekiel 36:37 Job 19:26 (si vera l.), Job 33:12 in this thou art not just; (late) אַחֲרֵי זֹאתJob 42:16 Ezra 9:10, א׳ כל־זאתII Chronicles 21:18; II Chronicles 35:20; pointing forward to a following a clause, Genesis 42:18; Genesis 43:11 Numbers 8:24; Numbers 14:35 Isaiah 56:2 Job 10:13 etc.; Exodus 9:16 I Samuel 25:31 Isaiah 1:12 מִי בִקֵּשׁ זאת מִיֶּדְכֶם רְמֹס חֲצֵרָֽי׃; to one introduced by כִּי II Samuel 19:22 Psalms 102:19; Psalms 119:50, Psalms 119:56 (see also בְּזֹאת 6 b β): but זֶה also sometimes occurs similarly Exodus 13:8 Proverbs 24:12 Job 15:17 Nehemiah 2:2 Ecclesiastes 1:17; Ecclesiastes 2:15 גם זה הבל (so v Ecclesiastes 2:19, Ecclesiastes 2:21, Ecclesiastes 2:23 +), Ecclesiastes 7:18(×2); of a concrete obj., Exodus 30:31 II Kings 4:43 מָה אֶתֵּן זֶה לִפְנֵי מֵאָה אִישׁ: in late Hebrew, Nehemiah 13:6 בְּכָל־זֶה during all this, II Chronicles 32:9 אַחַר זֶה; pointing forwards Lamentations 5:17 to כִּי Psalms 56:10 Jeremiah 22:21. (See also below, 6 g.)
repeated זֶהזֶה, thisthat, the onethe other or (if indefinite) another, Genesis 29:27 (זֹאת), Exodus 14:20 וְלֹא קָרַב זֶה אֶל זֶה, I Kings 3:23; I Kings 22:20 Isaiah 6:3; Isaiah 44:5 (3 times), Psalms 75:8 זֶה יַשְׁפִּיל וְזֶה יָרִים, Job 1:16-18; Job 21:23, Job 21:25 +.
In appos. to a noun:
preceding it (rare) Exodus 32:1, Exodus 32:23 זֶה מֹשֶׁה, Judges 5:5 (= Psalms 68:9) זֶה סִינַי this Sinai, Joshua 9:12 זֶה לַחְמֵנוּ this our bread, I Kings 14:14 II Kings 6:33 Isaiah 23:13 זֶה הָעָם, Psalms 34:7; Psalms 49:14; Psalms 104:25 זה הים גדול וג׳ this sea there is great and broad, Psalms 118:20 Song of Songs 7:8 Ezra 3:12. (Cf. זוּ Habakkuk 1:11.)
following it:—(α) when the noun is determined by a pron. affix, Genesis 24:8 שְׁבוּעָתִי זֹאת, this my oath, Deuteronomy 5:26(Deuteronomy 5:23) O that לְבָבָם זֶה this their heart (their present temper) might continue always! Deuteronomy 21:20 Joshua 2:14, Joshua 2:20 דְּבָרֵנוּ זֶה, Judges 6:14 go בְּכֹחֲךָ זֶה in this thy strength, Daniel 10:17 II Chronicles 24:18 (Cf. אֵלָּה, and) Rarely when it is undetermined, II Kings 1:2 חֳלִי זֶה (so II Kings 8:8, II Kings 8:9), Psalms 80:15. (β) with the art., הַזֶּה, הַזֹּאת, after a noun determained also by the art., Genesis 7:1 בַּדּוֹר הַזֶּה, v Genesis 7:13 הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה, Genesis 12:7 הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת, Genesis 15:7; Genesis 17:21, Genesis 17:23 Deuteronomy 4:6 הגוי הגדול הזה, and continually. Not however after a n.pr., except such as are construed with the art., as הַיַּרְדֵּן הַזֶּה Genesis 32:11 Deuteronomy 3:27; Deuteronomy 31:2 Joshua 1:2, Joshua 1:11; Joshua 4:22, הַלְּבָנוֹן הַזֶּה Joshua 1:4, compare Numbers 27:12 = Deuteronomy 32:49 (II Kings 5:20 הַזֶּה belongs to הָאֲרַמִּי): and hardly ever (II Chronicles 1:10) after a noun with a pron. affix (Joshua 2:17 מִשְּׁבֻעָתֵךְ הַזֶּה the gender of הזה shews that the text is in error: see Driver§ 209 Obs.).
More often as pred., as I Samuel 24:17 הֲקוֹלְךָ זֶה, II Kings 3:23 דָּם זֶה this is blood, II Kings 9:37 זֹאת אִיזָֽבֶל׃, Ezekiel 5:5 etc.; הֲזֶה Isaiah 14:16, הֲזֹאת Isaiah 23:7 Lamentations 2:15; often at the beginning or close of enumerations (especially P), descriptions, injunctions, etc., as Genesis 5:1 זה ספר this is the book …, Genesis 9:12 זֹאת אוֹת הַבְּרִית, Genesis 17:10; Genesis 20:13 זֶה חַסְדֵּךְ אֲשֶׁר תַּעֲשִׂי עִמָּדִי, Leviticus 6:2, Leviticus 6:13, Leviticus 6:18; Leviticus 7:1, Leviticus 7:11 Deuteronomy 6:1; Deuteronomy 33:1 Joshua 13:2 Job 27:13 Isaiah 58:6 etc.; זה הדבר אשׁרExodus 16:16; Exodus 35:4 Joshua 5:4 Judges 20:9; Judges 21:11 Isaiah 37:22 Jeremiah 38:21 +, compare זה אשׁרthis is what (or how) … Genesis 6:15 Exodus 29:38 Jeremiah 33:16; זֶה לְךָ הָאוֹת Exodus 3:12 I Samuel 2:34 +; at the end, Leviticus 7:37; Leviticus 11:46; Leviticus 13:50 Numbers 5:21; Numbers 7:17, Numbers 7:23 etc., Joshua 19:8, Joshua 19:16, Joshua 19:23 etc., Isaiah 14:26; Isaiah 16:13 (זֶה הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר …), Isaiah 17:14; Isaiah 54:17 Jeremiah 13:25 Psalms 109:20 Song of Songs 5:16(×2) Job 5;Job 27, in the latter case sometimes with the force of such (that is such as has been described), Job 18:21; Job 20:29 (compare אֵלֶּה Psalms 73:12), Psalms 24:6; Psalms 48:15 such (= such a one) is God, our God, for ever (Hitzig De) Zephaniah 2:15; compare Job 14:3 אַף־עַל־זֶה upon one such as this (v Job 14:1, Job 14:2) dost thou open thy eyes?
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? Job 28:12 אֵי־זֶה מְקוֹם בִּינָה, v Job 28:20 Job 38:19 b (see other exx. sub אַי 1 b, p. 32).
מִי־זֶה, †I Samuel 17:55, I Samuel 17:56 בֶּן־מִי־זֶה֖ הָעָֽלֶם׃ the son of whom, here, is the lad? Jeremiah 49:19 (= Jeremiah 50:44) וּמִי זֶה רֹעֶה אֲשֶׁר וג׳ and who (emph.) is the shepherd that etc., Lamentations 3:37 Psalms 24:8 Who is the King of glory? (for which in v Psalms 24:10 the stronger מִי הוּא זֶה is said: so Jeremiah 30:21 Esther 7:5), Psalms 25:12. Elsewhere, the rend. Who is this … is admissible: Isaiah 63:1 Jeremiah 46:7 Job 38:2; Job 42:3; compare מִי־זֹאת Song of Songs 3:6; Song of Songs 6:10; Song of Songs 8:5.
מַה־זֶּה how, now? Genesis 27:20 Judges 18:24 וּמַה־זֶּה תֹּאמְרוּ אֵלַי and how, now, do ye say to me …? I Kings 21:5 II Kings 1:5; what, now? (τίποτε;) I Samuel 10:11 מַה־זֶּה הָיָה לְבֶן־קִישׁ; עַל־מַה־זֶּה for what? Nehemiah 2:4: contracted into מַזֶּה Exodus 4:2. (Cf. Aramaic מָדֵין why? ܡܳܕܶܝܢ used as a conjunction therefore, for example II Samuel 18:22 Peshitta, Payne Smith (Syriac Thesaurus)2013: both formed similarly.)
מַה־זֹּאת in the phrase (עֲשִׂיתֶם, עָשִׂית) מַה־זֹּאת עָשִׂיתָ Genesis 3:13; Genesis 12:18; Genesis 26:10; Genesis 29:25; Genesis 42:28 Exodus 14:11 Judges 2:2 Judges 15:11 +. Either What, now, hast thou (have ye) done? (Fl De) or What is this (that) thou hast (ye have) done? (The Arabic grammarians dispute on the precise construction of the corresp. phrase in Arabic مَا ذَا صَنَعْتَ; De Genesis 3:13 (ed. 4), and especially FlKl.Schr. i. 356 Lane p. 948.)
לָֽמָּה־זֶּה wherefore, now? Genesis 18:13; Genesis 25:22; Genesis 32:30 Exodus 5:22 Numbers 11:20 + often Cf. Arabic لِهَا ذَا

עַתָּה זֶה, †I Kings 17:24 עַתָּה זֶה יָדַעְתִּי now I know that …, II Kings 5:22 just now. Also
prefixed to expressions denoting a period of time: Genesis 27:36 he hath supplanted me זֶה פַעֲמַיִם now two times (so Genesis 43:10), Genesis 31:38 now, already twenty years, v Genesis 27:41 (זֶה־לִּי …), Genesis 45:6 Numbers 14:22 now ten times, Numbers 22:28, Numbers 22:32 זֶה שָׁלשׁ רְגָלִים, Deuteronomy 8:2, Deuteronomy 8:4 Joshua 22:3 זֶה יָמִים רַבִּים, II Samuel 14:2 +; Zechariah 7:3 זֶה כַּמָּה שָׁנִים already how many years! compare Ruth 2:7 Jeremiah 50:17.
In poetry, as a relative pron. (rare: but see also זוֹ, זוּ): Psalms 74:2 athe hill of Zion זה שׁכנת בּוֹ wherein thou dwellest, Psalms 78:54; Psalms 104:8 אל־מְקום זה to the place (st. c. Gesenius' Hebrew Grammar (ed. Kautzsch) § 130. 3) which … v Psalms 104:26 Proverbs 23:22 Isaiah 25:9; = that which Job 15:17, those who Job 19:19 (so once, Exodus 13:8, even in prose). 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.
With prefixes (in special senses):—

זֶה in I Samuel 17:34 (in many edd.) is a typographical error (not a Kt) of Jacob b. Chayim’s Rabbin. Bible of 1525 for שׂה sheep, which has been perpetuated hence in other subseq. edd. The reading of MSS. and of the best ancient edd. is שֶׂה (compare de RossiVar. Lect. ii. 151).
