ge.dad is used as a plural imperative command concerning a tree, though the APB translation does not preserve the action explicitly.

The attested use is a masculine plural imperative command concerning the tree in Daniel 4:11 and Daniel 4:20; the supplied APB wording describes the tree's growth and extent rather than isolating this command.

Senses in use

  1. Plural command concerning the tree · dominant

    In Daniel 4:11, the form is a Qal imperative addressed to masculine plural hearers in a verse where the APB renders the tree as having “grew and became strong.” Daniel 4:20 has the same imperative form while the APB again identifies “The tree that you saw,” but the translation does not explicitly mark the command's action.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Daniel 4:11 and Daniel 4:20, the APB presents the tree's growth, strength, height, and reach rather than a distinct English rendering of the imperative. Its omission does not identify a specific English equivalent for the term.
