Senses in use

  1. Grammatical reference to a group · dominant

    The form occurs in group-oriented clauses: in Daniel 2:44 the APB renders “In the days of those kings,” while Daniel 6:25 addresses “all the peoples, nations, and languages.” In Ezra 5:4, the APB renders a question about “the men who are building this building”, so its exact contribution is not always isolated.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the surrounding clauses with plural groups such as “those kings,” “all the peoples, nations, and languages,” and “the men who are building this building.” Because it is a whole-verse translation, it does not consistently isolate this form.
