KJV Word of the Day: Sod

Sod is the past tense form of the archaic word seethe, which means to cook by boiling. The metaphorical use of "seethe" is still in use in the English language—"when the IRS audited my tax return, I was seething with anger."

I take the term from Gen 25.29: And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint: ” (Genesis 25:29, KJV 1900).
