Senses in use

  1. Collective reference to fowl · dominant

    In 1 Kings 5:3, the form is a masculine plural absolute noun. The APB renders the verse as David's inability to build because of surrounding wars, without an identifiable English phrase corresponding to this noun; the supplied context therefore supports only the broad fowl reference.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Kings 5:3, the APB renders David's situation concerning surrounding wars and does not visibly represent this noun with a corresponding English term. Its omission cannot establish a narrower rendering.
