Senses in use

  1. Hostile raiding or attacking · dominant

    In Genesis 49:19, the two Qal imperfect forms occur in the clause contrasting raiders who attack Gad with his attack at their heels; the APB renders the verse, "Raiders shall attack Gad, but he shall attack at their heels." In Habakkuk 3:16, the same Qal imperfect form occurs in the reference to "the people who raid us" in the APB.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the action with "attack" in Genesis 49:19 and with "raid" in Habakkuk 3:16. These renderings indicate the verses' hostile-action context rather than separate lexical senses.
