ha.mul.lah denotes a loud, tumultuous sound, heard in the motion of wings and amid destructive fire.

The two occurrences depict a tumultuous sound: one compares the sound of moving wings to a camp, and the other places it at the sound accompanying fire that shatters branches.

Senses in use

  1. Tumultuous sound in vivid scenes · dominant

    Both occurrences use a common feminine singular absolute noun in sound-related clauses. In Ezekiel 1:24 the APB renders “the sound of a tumult” while comparing the moving wings to many waters and a camp; in Jeremiah 11:16 it renders “the sound of a great tumult” as fire is kindled and branches are shattered.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the noun as “the sound of a tumult” in Ezekiel 1:24 and “the sound of a great tumult” in Jeremiah 11:16. These phrases confirm the verse-level sound imagery rather than isolate a precise English equivalent.
