THE MAW — the fourth stomach of a ruminant, the abomasum, and a butcher's term rather than a poetic one. It is listed at Deuteronomy 18:3 among the three parts of a slaughtered ox or sheep that belong to the priest, beside the shoulder and the two cheeks. ⭐ Its interest is what the same three consonants do elsewhere: they spell the qubbah Phinehas walks into at Numbers 25:8, and the belly he runs a spear through in the same sentence. The lexicons list these as separate entries, so the claim is about letters and not about anyone's intention — but a consonantal search returns those two verses and nothing else, and Numbers 25 built its whole reading of a violent verse on the coincidence. ⚠ The shelf splits on how technical to be: KJV, ASV and Geneva keep the now-dead English word 'maw', the NWT 1984 goes anatomical with 'the stomach', the NIV dissolves it into 'the internal organs', and the Spanish shelf has the best word on either side — «cuajar», which is the ordinary Spanish name for exactly this organ. → first discussed at Deut 18:3
