The attested use denotes varieties within a collection: plural in the burial setting with spices and mixed ointments, and singular forms in a prayer for produce of every kind.

Senses in use

  1. Varieties within a collection · dominant

    In 2 Chronicles 16:14, the masculine plural form occurs in the verse describing spices and mixed ointments placed on a bier. In Psalm 144:13, two masculine singular forms occur in the petition for storehouses supplying produce; the APB renders the clause "supplying produce of every kind."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the Psalm clause as "produce of every kind" and describes "various kinds of mixed ointments" in the burial verse. These phrases confirm the verse contexts rather than isolate a fixed English rendering for each form.
