Senses in use

  1. Made-of-wood objects · dominant

    The neuter plural form occurs in 2 Timothy 2:20 within the list of vessels in a great house; the APB renders the materials as “wood and clay.” In Revelation 9:20, the accusative plural form stands in the list of idols that people worship; the APB renders that list with “the wooden,” alongside gold, silver, bronze, stone, and items unable to see, hear, or walk.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term through “wood” in 2 Timothy 2:20 and “the wooden” in Revelation 9:20. These renderings confirm the material context rather than establish a separate nuance.
