Language

chash.man denotes ambassadors in the Psalm 68:32 setting, though the translation does not isolate the term.

The sole attestation presents the term as a masculine plural noun for ambassadors, but the supplied translation does not isolate its contribution within the verse's call for earth's kingdoms to sing to God.

Senses in use

  1. Ambassadors in a summons to the kingdoms · dominant

    In Psalm 68:32, the plural absolute form occurs in the verse that addresses the kingdoms of the earth and calls them to sing to God. The APB renders the verse, "O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God; sing praises to the LORD, Selah," without identifying a separate English rendering for the noun.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Psalm 68:32, the APB presents a summons to the kingdoms of the earth to sing to God, but its loose wording does not separately render the term. Its specific English equivalent remains unclear.
