eph.ro.ach denotes young offspring, especially those associated with a bird’s nest or a parent.

The attested use denotes young offspring: Deuteronomy 22:6 places them in a bird’s nest with their mother, and Job 39:30 describes young that “suck up blood”; Psalm 84:4 has a plural construct form, though the APB does not isolate its contribution.

Senses in use

  1. Young offspring with a parent or in a setting · dominant

    In Deuteronomy 22:6, the masculine plural absolute forms occur in the instruction concerning a bird’s nest, where the APB renders the clause “with young or eggs” and prohibits taking “the mother with the young.” In Job 39:30, a masculine singular construct form occurs in the clause the APB renders “His young suck up blood.” Psalm 84:4 likewise has a masculine plural construct form, but its specific contribution is not identifiable from the APB rendering of that verse.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “young” in Deuteronomy 22:6 and Job 39:30. In Psalm 84:4, the translation does not provide a clearly corresponding English expression, so the term’s specific rendering cannot be isolated.
