  1. A manure pile as a place of disposal · dominant

    In Luke 14:35, the accusative singular feminine form occurs in the statement that something is fit neither for the earth nor for this location before it is thrown out. The APB renders the clause "nor for the manure pile; they throw it out."

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Luke 14:35, the APB presents the relevant location as "the manure pile." This rendering confirms the verse's setting rather than isolating the term mechanically.
