Male animals in offering and dedication lists · dominant
In Ezra 6:9, the masculine plural absolute form occurs in the list of animals needed for burnt offerings. Ezra 6:17 places it among animals brought for the dedication of God's house, while Ezra 7:17 includes it among animals to be purchased with silver and offered on the altar; in each verse the APB presents the surrounding clause as an offering-related animal list.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Ezra 6:9, Ezra 6:17, and Ezra 7:17, the APB presents the term within lists of animals associated with offerings, dedication, or altar purchase. Its specific English contribution is not isolated independently from the list context.
