Senses in use

  1. Knowledge expressed or characterized · dominant

    The singular construct form occurs as Elihu offers to declare what he knows in Job 32:6, Job 32:10, and Job 32:17, and as he speaks of lifting his knowledge in Job 36:3. In Job 37:16, the plural absolute form appears in the clause that asks about a cloud’s swaying and “the wonders of unblemished knowledge”; the APB renders the surrounding clause in those terms.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “what I know,” “my knowledge,” and “unblemished knowledge” in the supplied verses. These phrases confirm the clauses’ overall presentation rather than establish separate lexical senses.
