o.seph denotes a collection associated with vintage produce or the taking of spoil.

The term denotes collection in settings of vintage and summer fruit, while Isaiah 33:4 applies the same collection setting to spoil gathered with locust-like rushing.

Senses in use

  1. Collection of produce or spoil · dominant

    In Isaiah 32:10, the singular absolute form occurs where the vintage is finished and the APB renders that “the gathering does not come.” In Isaiah 33:4, the singular construct form stands in the clause about spoil being gathered like locusts; Micah 7:1 uses a plural construct form in a lament comparing the speaker with those who gather summer fruit and glean the vintage.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents these contexts with “the gathering,” spoil that “will be gathered,” and people who “gather summer fruit.” These phrases confirm the verses' collection settings rather than identify a fixed English rendering.
