Bul denotes a yield or made product, seen in mountain provision and an object fashioned from wood.

The attested use presents bul as a product or yield: Job 40:20 places it in what the mountains provide, while Isaiah 44:19 places it in the remainder made into a wooden object for bowing down.

Senses in use

  1. Yield or made product · dominant

    Both occurrences use a common masculine singular construct form. In Job 40:20 the APB renders the clause “For the produce of the mountains they lift to him,” placing the term in the mountains’ provision; in Isaiah 44:19 the APB renders the remaining material as “a block of wood” that is made into an abomination and bowed down to.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the clause in Job 40:20 with “produce of the mountains” and the clause in Isaiah 44:19 with “a block of wood.” These renderings show the verses’ contexts rather than establishing a separate English equivalent in each case.
