פירוש על יהושע 9:5

Moldy. “Arson” in old French is an expression of מוֹקֵד, fire or heat.⁸Rashi explains that נִקֻדִים indicates that the bread was not merely dry but burned as toast which would preserve it over a long period. He therefore would reject the translation of נְקֻדִים as moldy. Targum Yonasan also translates נִקֻדִים as כִּסְנִין.
