Senses in use

  1. Personal name in a family list · dominant

    In Genesis 25:2, the form is tagged Noun · Proper and occurs in the clause listing those whom she bore to him; the APB renders the list with “Zimran” among the named children. In 1 Chronicles 1:32, the same proper-noun use appears in the list of Keturah's children, where the APB renders “she bore Zimran” followed by other names.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the name as “Zimran” within lists of children borne by Keturah. It confirms the list context rather than supplying a separate lexical rendering.
