sabaoth denotes hosts in the divine designation rendered “Lord of hosts” in the cited verses.

Senses in use

  1. Hosts in a divine designation · dominant

    In James 5:4, the genitive plural form occurs in the designation whose ears receive the outcries of reapers; the APB renders it “the Lord of hosts.” In Romans 9:29, the same form occurs in Isaiah’s conditional statement concerning offspring, again rendered by the APB as “the Lord of hosts.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across James 5:4 and Romans 9:29, the APB presents the form within the repeated designation “Lord of hosts.” The verse is read as a whole, so the precise contribution of the individual noun is indicated by its genitive plural form and the supplied gloss.
