Abstract
The alternative, pas (פַּס), is more obscure still. Of its six occurrences,15 the best-known is Genesis 37:3, where the coat that Jacob gives to Joseph is described as פַּסִּים traditionally mistranslated ,כּתְנֹתֶ as a ‘coat of many colors’. The various uses of this term in cognate languages and in later Hebrew suggest that two originally independent terms may have been confused here. One set of instances suggests the meaning is ‘piece’ or ‘portion’. In other places, the meaning of ‘palm’, ‘wrist’ or ‘ankle’ is likely. The latter instances may reflect the relationship with ephes (אֶפֶס). A related term, ophes is used in the Bible in reference to the ankles ,(אפֶֹס) (Ezek. 47:3). The connection between פַּס as ‘palm’, ‘wrist’, or ‘ankle’, and אֶפֶס is apparently related to these body parts being at the end of the arms and legs. The apparent overlap between the usages of these terms suggests that the places referred to as Ephes Dammim and Pas Dammim are one and the same, either because of the dropping of the initial א or because two very similar-sounding (and perhaps related) terms have simply become confused.16
