Senses in use

  1. Portable bags and purses · dominant

    Both occurrences use the masculine plural absolute form. In 2 Kings 5:23, the containers hold two talents of silver; the APB renders the clause "bound two talents of silver in two bags." In Isaiah 3:22, they occur in a list of robes, over-tunics, and cloaks; the APB renders the final item "the purses."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the plural as "two bags" in 2 Kings 5:23 and as "the purses" in Isaiah 3:22. These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than establish separate senses.
