Senses in use

  1. Testing quality of the Zion stone · dominant

    In Isaiah 28:16, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in the declaration that a stone is being founded in Zion. The APB renders the clause "a stone, a testing stone, a precious cornerstone," linking the term to that stone's stated testing characterization.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 28:16, the APB presents the term within "a testing stone." This identifies the clause's presentation rather than a precise token-by-token rendering.
