Senses in use

  1. Wild creatures in desolate places · dominant

    The masculine plural absolute form occurs in settings of desolation or abandonment. In Isaiah 13:22 the APB renders wild beasts dwelling in desolate places; in Isaiah 34:14 it renders wild beasts meeting one another; and in Jeremiah 50:39 it renders wild beasts dwelling with hyenas where no one will live.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all three verses, the APB presents the creatures as “wild beasts,” whether dwelling in desolate places, meeting one another, or dwelling with hyenas. This rendering confirms the verses' overall portrayal rather than isolating each token precisely.
