Senses in use

  1. Marks the masculine singular person addressed · dominant

    Each supplied token is decoded as a personal second masculine singular pronoun. In 1 Kings 13:14 the clause asks whether the addressee is the man of God; in 1 Kings 20:14 the APB renders the reply "You" to identify who will muster the army; and in 1 Chronicles 28:9 David directly addresses Solomon with an instruction. In prayer, 1 Kings 18:36 addresses the LORD and the APB renders the clause "you are God in Israel."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly reflects the addressee with “you,” including direct questions, commands, and prayers, but it is a whole-verse translation and may absorb the pronoun into the clause.
