Mouldy

Mouldy The word נקֻּדַים nikkudim' (Jos 9:5), refers, as Gesenius remarks, rather to crumbs of bread, and, instead of, as in our version, "all the bread of their [the Gibeonites'] provision was dry and mouldy," he reads, "all the bread of their travelling provision was dry, and had fallen into crumbs." SEE BREAD.
