Senses in use

  1. Required provisions for offerings · dominant

    In Ezra 6:9, the feminine plural noun occurs in the clause listing young bulls, rams, lambs, wheat, salt, wine, and oil to be given for burnt offerings. The APB renders the surrounding provision as “whatever is needed” and says these items shall be given “day by day without fail.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Ezra 6:9, the APB presents the clause as “whatever is needed” before listing the offerings and supplies. That wording identifies the verse’s overall presentation rather than a precise one-word rendering.
