ti.rah denotes encampment or settlement sites, especially places established for dwelling.

The clearest attested use identifies places of encampment or settlement: groups are named by such sites, camps are destroyed, and incoming people establish them. Other occurrences place the noun in descriptions of built arrangements, but the translation does not consistently isolate its contribution there.

2. Built arrangement or structure context · occasional

   Ezekiel 46:23 uses a feminine plural absolute form in a description of a surrounding row and hearths made beneath it. Song of Songs 8:9 has a feminine singular construct form in the comparison involving a silver tower; the APB's wording confirms a construction setting, though it does not identify a word-for-word rendering.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “encampments” in Genesis 25:16, Numbers 31:10, and Ezekiel 25:4. In Ezekiel 46:23 and Song of Songs 8:9 it presents rows and a tower instead, and in 1 Chronicles 6:39 and Psalm 69:26 it does not clearly expose the term's contribution.
