Karl, here's a quick list of other occurrences I came up with to whet your נפשׁ.
  • Exodus 15.9
  • Isaiah 56.11
  • Jeremiah 22.27; 44.14; 50.19
  • Ezekiel 24.25 (though this has more the sense of desire, rather appetite specifically)
  • Hosea 4.8
  • Proverbs 6.30; 23.2; 28.25 (though this is broader, probably greed);

George:

Do you have other verses where NP$ means “appetite”? One time uses of a meaning for a term can end up making a term undefined.
