Senses in use

  1. An individual's anticipated departure · dominant

    In 2 Peter 1:15, the accusative singular form occurs in the writer's statement about what will happen after his leaving; the APB renders the clause "after my departure." In Luke 9:31, the same form is the subject under discussion, connected with what was about to be fulfilled in Jerusalem; the APB renders it "his departure."

  2. The sons of Israel's exodus · occasional

    In Hebrews 11:22, the genitive singular form is connected with Joseph's speech about the sons of Israel and his instructions concerning his bones; the APB renders the phrase "the exodus of the sons of Israel."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "departure" in 2 Peter 1:15 and Luke 9:31, and "exodus" in Hebrews 11:22. These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
