Tagged by Dada por viva (talkcontribs) back in July, with the comment "probably bad Tbot entry".

The phrase literally means "battle spirit", and it gets some hits on Google [link], so it's not exactly wrong; but I'm not sure whether it's really a set expression. Interestingly, the first three hits (at least for me) are dictionaries: an AI-based dictionary that shows contextual translations from a large bilingual corpus [link], us, and a dictionary that doesn't actually have an entry for this phrase [link]. Not sure what to make of that!

Here the term (in the hyphenated spelling רוח־קרב) is called a “frequently used combination” (in a Biblical context). From the context it would seem that this can be found in both Psalm 51:12 and Ezekiel 11:19 and 36:26. I see the term also used here in a commentary on Pesachim 36 in the Jerusalem Talmud, but the text is almost unreadable.  --Lambiam 15:54, 7 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
