חַבּוּרָה   n.f. #2  wound


  wound  PTA.  TN Deut14:1 : לא תעבדון חבורן חבורן  [MT לֹא תִתְגֹּדְד, see PsJon לא תגודון בישׂריכון].

BH חַבּוּרָה; DJPA takes this to be rather #1 "group, party"; however, it is clear comparing the history of the various targums that in the earliest stage of the Palestinian targum the meaning was almost certainly "wound", but by the time of the Neofiti variant the interpretation had shifted, yielding the meaning suggested by DJPA. MT תִתְגֹּדְדוּ was assumed to be connected with MT גְּדוּד, and hence the resulting interpretation of a poorly understood passage.
