Senses in use

  1. Lambs among animals for offerings · dominant

    All three occurrences use the masculine plural absolute form in animal lists. In Ezra 6:9 the APB renders lambs among what is needed for burnt offerings; in Ezra 7:17 it renders them among animals to be purchased and offered on the altar; and in Ezra 6:17 it includes them among animals brought for the dedication of God's house.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the three verses, the APB presents the form as “lambs” within lists of animals connected with offerings or dedication. This identifies the term's contribution only as shown by its place in those lists.
