1. Emerging and developing growth · dominant

   In Mark 4:27, the present active subjunctive occurs in the clause about seed growing while the man does not know how; the APB renders the clause “the seed sprouts and lengthens.” In Matthew 13:26, the aorist form marks the grass’s emergence before it produces fruit, while James 5:18 places the aorist form in the earth’s fruit-producing response to rain. Hebrews 9:4 uses an aorist active feminine nominative singular participle to describe Aaron’s rod as having budded.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the growth with “sprouts” in Mark 4:27, “had sprouted” in Matthew 13:26, “produced its fruit” in James 5:18, and “had budded” in Hebrews 9:4. These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
