וַ/יָּ֥זֶד
𐤅/𐤉𐤆𐤃
zûwd
and he cooked
To act in a presumptuous, arrogant, or insolent manner; to willfully act with pride or insolence, disregarding boundaries or norms. The root refers primarily to an action of insolence, often with a sense of overstepping proper limits, whether in social, religious, or legal contexts. The sense can be literal (presumptuous acts) or figurative (inner attitude of pride or insolence). In some contexts, related to food preparation, it can mean 'to boil up,' but this is secondary and likely the result of a separate, though phonetically similar, root.

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and he cooked
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'and he acted presumptuously' is not contextually appropriate. In Genesis 25:29, the verb refers to preparing food (cooking or boiling a stew). Adjusted to 'and he cooked' to match the narrative and align with standard translation; SILEX definition covers only the arrogant sense, but lexically the context is about cooking. |
| P1 Flag | Genuine root/application error: 'and he acted presumptuously' is incorrect here; the verb refers to cooking or boiling in this context (Strong's H2102 is used for both senses, but context dictates cooking). |
