to feed
te.am denotes feeding in the verbal occurrences and tasting wine in its noun occurrence.
The verbal forms denote feeding, most clearly where a man is fed grass like oxen in Daniel 5:21; the construct noun form occurs in the setting of tasting wine in Daniel 5:2. The APB does not isolate the verbal term in Daniel 4:22 or Daniel 4:29.
Senses in use
-
Feeding someone or something · dominant
The three Piel imperfect verb forms belong to this dominant use. In Daniel 5:21 the APB renders the clause, “He was fed grass like oxen”; Daniel 4:22 and Daniel 4:29 contain the same verbal morphology, though their supplied APB renderings do not display a corresponding feeding clause.
-
Tasting wine · rare
In Daniel 5:2, the masculine singular construct noun occurs in the circumstance of Belshazzar's action; the APB renders, “while tasting the wine,” before his command concerning the vessels.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly presents the verb as “was fed” in Daniel 5:21 and the noun in the phrase “while tasting the wine” in Daniel 5:2. Its supplied renderings for Daniel 4:22 and Daniel 4:29 do not visibly reflect the verbal forms.
