Senses in use

  1. A tree marking the stone’s location · dominant

    In Joshua 24:26, the feminine singular absolute form occurs in the phrase locating the large stone that Joshua set up; the APB renders the setting as “under the oak that stands in the sanctuary of the LORD.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Joshua 24:26, the APB presents the term within the location phrase “under the oak that stands in the sanctuary of the LORD.” It confirms the verse’s tree setting rather than isolating each word’s contribution.
