tab.bur denotes the central part of a land in the two attested clauses.

The term marks a land's central area: people come down from it in Judges 9:37, while a people dwelling there are targeted in Ezekiel 38:12.

Senses in use

  1. central area of a land · dominant

    Both occurrences use the construct singular noun in a land-related expression. In Judges 9:37 the APB renders people as coming down from “the center of the land”; in Ezekiel 38:12 it renders the targeted people as dwelling “at the center of the land.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with the same phrase, “the center of the land,” in both cited verses. This indicates the clause-level presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
