Senses in use

  1. Clay material mixed with iron · dominant

    In Daniel 2:41, the determined masculine singular form occurs in the description of feet and toes made partly of potter's clay and partly of iron; the APB renders the scene as iron mixed with “clay.” In Daniel 2:43, the same form again occurs with iron, and the APB renders the comparison as iron that does not mix with “clay.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Daniel 2:41 and Daniel 2:43, the APB presents the material as “clay,” including “potter's clay” in the former verse. This identifies the clause-level presentation rather than a precise lexical equivalence.
