Senses in use

  1. Outdoor setting associated with beasts · dominant

    In Daniel 2:38 the determined masculine singular noun occurs in the clause that the APB renders "the beasts of the field." In Daniel 4:12, the same morphology appears where the APB again renders the setting of the beasts as "the field," beneath the tree.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses "field" in the clauses about beasts in Daniel 2:38 and Daniel 4:12. In Daniel 4:9, Daniel 4:18, Daniel 4:20, Daniel 4:22, and Daniel 4:29, its rendering does not visibly isolate the noun’s contribution.
