Containers carried with oil and lamps · dominant
In Matthew 25:4, the dative plural form occurs in the clause describing the thoughtful persons taking olive oil in containers along with their lamps; the APB renders the verse, “The thoughtful, however, took olive oil in jars along with their lamps.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Matthew 25:4, the APB presents the containers as “jars” holding olive oil alongside lamps. This rendering is confirmed by the clause rather than treated as an exact lexical equivalent.
