Senses in use

  1. Garlands brought for intended sacrifice · dominant

    In Acts 14:13, the accusative plural neuter form occurs among the items the priest brings to the gates with bulls; the APB renders the clause "brought bulls and garlands to the gates" as the crowd intended to offer sacrifice.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 14:13 the APB presents the item as "garlands" brought with bulls. This rendering is confirmed by the clause's sacrificial setting rather than by a direct alignment.
