Senses in use

  1. Tablets in written and covenant contexts · dominant

    In 2 Corinthians 3:3, the dative plural form occurs in the contrast between writing on stone tablets and on human hearts; the APB renders the clause "not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts." In Hebrews 9:4, the nominative plural form identifies items in the ark; the APB renders "the tablets of the covenant."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "tablets" in both verses, specifying "stone" and "human hearts" in 2 Corinthians 3:3 and "of the covenant" in Hebrews 9:4. These phrases present the clauses rather than isolate every contribution of the lemma.
