Senses in use

  1. Command for a group to scatter · dominant

    In Daniel 4:11, the form בַדַּרוּ is marked as a Piel imperative, second masculine plural, so the attested use addresses a group with a command to scatter. The APB renders the verse as a description of a tree that “grew and became strong,” but its loose wording does not isolate this imperative's contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 4:11, the APB presents the tree's growth, height, and visibility but does not visibly render the imperative as a separate English command.
