Senses in use

  1. Describing loaves in the feeding account · dominant

    In John 6:9, the accusative plural masculine form modifies the five loaves brought by the boy; the APB renders the clause “five barley loaves.” In John 6:13, the genitive plural masculine form occurs with the fragments gathered after the meal, which the APB describes as fragments from the five barley loaves.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across John 6:9 and John 6:13, the APB presents the loaves as “barley loaves.” The verse is read as a whole, but both clauses place the term within the description of the loaves and their leftover fragments.
