In Daniel 7:2, the feminine plural participle is used of the four winds in relation to the great sea; the APB renders the clause, “four winds of the heavens were stirring up the great sea.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 7:2, the APB presents the action as “were stirring up the great sea.” This wording confirms the clause’s overall action rather than isolating a precise English equivalent.
