In 1 Samuel 2:29, the Qal imperfect second masculine plural form occurs in the question concerning kicking at the commanded sacrifice and offering; the APB renders the clause "Why do you kick at my sacrifice and my offering." In Deuteronomy 32:15, the Qal sequential imperfect third masculine singular form stands after Jeshurun's becoming fat and sated and before abandonment of God; the APB renders "Jeshurun grew fat and kicked."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "kick at" for the action directed toward sacrifice and offering in 1 Samuel 2:29 and "kicked" in Deuteronomy 32:15. These are translation renderings of the clauses, not definitions.
