Language

ur.vah denotes animal quarters, shown in contexts of livestock, flocks, horses, and chariots.

The attested use concerns quarters for animals: 2 Chronicles 32:28 places them with livestock and flocks, and 2 Chronicles 9:25 with horses and chariots. In 1 Kings 5:6, the construct plural occurs in a clause about cedar cutting, where the translation does not isolate its contribution.

Senses in use

  1. quarters for livestock and horses · dominant

    In 2 Chronicles 32:28, the absolute plural stands in the list of provisions made for livestock and flocks; the APB renders the verse with “stalls” for both. In 2 Chronicles 9:25, the construct plural is associated with horses and chariots, and the APB likewise renders “stalls.” In 1 Kings 5:6, a construct plural occurs in the cedar-cutting clause, but the APB's rendering does not make this term's specific contribution clear.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “stalls” in 2 Chronicles 32:28 and 2 Chronicles 9:25. In 1 Kings 5:6, its contribution is not separately apparent in the translation.
