ba.zar denotes dispersing or distributing in the attested verses, clearest where plunder and goods are distributed.

The clearest attested use is a dispersal expressed as distribution: in Daniel 11:24, the imperfect form occurs in the clause the APB renders as distributing plunder, spoil, and goods; Psalm 68:31 supplies a Piel perfect form, but the translation does not make its particular contribution clear.

Senses in use

  1. Dispersing expressed as distribution · dominant

    In Daniel 11:24, the Qal imperfect form stands in the action the APB renders as “he will distribute among them plunder, spoil, and goods.” Psalm 68:31 has the Piel perfect form in a verse whose APB renders the arrival of nobles from Egypt and Cush stretching out hands to God, without an evident word-for-word reflection of this verb.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 11:24, the APB presents the clause as “he will distribute among them plunder, spoil, and goods.” In Psalm 68:31, the translation provides no clear corresponding English expression.
