Senses in use

  1. Purple designation · dominant

    In 2 Chronicles 2:6, אַרְגְּוָן֙ occurs as a common masculine singular absolute noun. The APB renders the verse's discussion of building a house and burning incense before him, without an explicit English correspondence for this term; its contextual contribution can therefore be stated only at the supplied gloss level.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In 2 Chronicles 2:6, the APB renders the surrounding statements about building a house and burning incense, but it gives no explicit wording that can securely be assigned to this term. The verse is read as a whole.
