Senses in use

  1. Specified location in a setting · dominant

    All three occurrences use the construct noun form to identify a location in relation to what follows. In Proverbs 8:2 the APB renders the setting as “at the place of the paths”; in Job 8:17 it has “a place of stones”; and in Ezekiel 41:9 it refers to “the place of the sides which belonged to the house.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with “place” in each cited verse, though the surrounding relations differ: paths, stones, and sides of a house. These renderings confirm the verse-level setting rather than establish finer distinctions.
