Joy and the expression of rejoicing · dominant
In Hosea 9:1 the absolute noun occurs in a prohibition against Israel’s rejoicing; in Isaiah 16:10 and Jeremiah 48:33, the APB renders joy as being removed or taken away from agricultural celebration. In Job 3:22 the APB describes people who “rejoice with gladness” and “exult” at finding the grave, while Psalm 65:13 depicts valleys that “shout for joy” and sing; Proverbs 23:24 places the infinitive form in a father’s rejoicing over a wise son.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the surrounding clauses with “rejoice,” “joy and rejoicing,” “joy and gladness,” “exult,” and “shout for joy.” These render the verse contexts rather than establishing separate meanings for the term.
