Senses in use

  1. Royal honor and elevated status · dominant

    In Daniel 5:18, the determined singular noun is included in what the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar alongside kingdom, greatness, and glory; the APB renders that list with “honor.” In Daniel 4:27 and Daniel 4:33, the construct form occurs in the counsel and fulfillment scenes concerning the king’s downfall, where the APB renders the surrounding account as a call to break from sins and as Nebuchadnezzar’s removal from men.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly includes “honor” in the royal gift-list of Daniel 5:18. In Daniel 4:27 and Daniel 4:33, its specific English contribution cannot be isolated from the loose translation of the counsel and humiliation scenes.
