1. Grass or low field vegetation · dominant

   The noun identifies vegetation in varied concrete settings: in John 6:10 the APB renders that there was “much grass in the place,” and in Mark 4:28 it places grass first in the earth’s sequence of growth. In Matthew 6:30 and James 1:11, the clause describes grass as clothed, then dried by the sun; Revelation 8:7 describes all green grass being burned. In 1 Corinthians 3:12, the accusative singular occurs in a list of materials that the APB renders “wood, hay, or straw.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB generally presents the noun as “grass,” including grass in a place, grass of the field, and green grass; in 1 Corinthians 3:12 it renders the listed material “hay.” These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than define each occurrence independently.
