Usage: The term פֶרֶשׁ is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to excrement or dung, often in contexts related to ritual impurity or as a metaphor for something considered worthless or detestable. Context: • פֶרֶשׁ appears in the Hebrew Bible primarily in contexts that emphasize uncleanness or the disposal of waste. It is notably used in sacrificial contexts, where the entrails and refuse of sacrificial animals are to be taken outside the camp or city and burned, as seen in Leviticus 4:11-12: "But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, with its head and legs and its entrails and dung— all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place, to the ash heap, and burn it there on a wood fire; it is to be burned on the ash heap."
