Senses in use

  1. Driving a person away from human society · dominant

    In Daniel 5:21, the passive perfect form occurs in the clause that the APB renders, “He was driven from among men,” followed by his dwelling with wild donkeys. Daniel 4:22 and Daniel 4:29 use active participles, while Daniel 4:30 uses a passive perfect form; the supplied APB wording in those verses does not isolate the term's contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly renders the relevant clause in Daniel 5:21 as “He was driven from among men.” In Daniel 4:22, Daniel 4:29, and Daniel 4:30, the supplied translation does not make the term's contribution identifiable.
