בְּעֵיץ   adj.  (of a document) inner (?)


  (of a document) inner (?)  JLAtg.  TgJ Jer32:11 : יָת שְטָרָא דִזבִינֵי יָת דִכתִיב בְעֵץ וַחֲתִים כְהִלכְתָא וֻכדַחזֵי וְיָת שְטָרָא פְתִיחָא  the sale contract written inside and properly sealed according to the rules and the outer contract.

The reference is clearly to a double document widely known in the Ancient Near East, where the outer text reflects the sealed inner text; but the precise physical arrangement suggested by the targum is uncertain.
