dav.vag denotes people identified by fishing activity, whether catching or stationed with nets.

The attested plural noun identifies people engaged in fishing: in one verse they are sent to catch, and in another they stand by waters where nets are spread.

Senses in use

  1. People engaged in fishing · dominant

    Both occurrences use a common masculine plural absolute form. In Jeremiah 16:16 the APB renders people being sent who “shall catch them”; in Ezekiel 47:10 it renders people who “shall stand upon it” at a spreading-place for nets.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “fishermen” in both verses, describing their catching activity in Jeremiah 16:16 and their position with nets in Ezekiel 47:10. These clauses confirm the overall setting rather than isolate each English word as a precise rendering.
