In rare instances, it euphemistically refers to the genitals. The word's range thus encompasses anatomical, anthropological, and social connotations.

SIBI-P1 Translation H1320-18
flesh
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in the absolute state; lexical form בָּשָׂר. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בָּשָׂר derives directly from the root meaning "to be fresh, fleshy," denoting the soft physical substance of a body. As a masculine singular absolute noun, it is best rendered simply as "flesh," preserving its concrete, corporeal sense without contextual expansion. |
