ye.did denotes someone presented as cherished, especially in relational expressions of divine care or affection.

The clearest attested use designates a cherished person in relational expressions: Benjamin is described in connection with the LORD in Deuteronomy 33:12, and the term is repeated for a vineyard owner in Isaiah 5:1. It also occurs in the address concerning a beloved in Jeremiah 11:15 and in the statement about receiving sleep in Psalm 127:2; its plural occurrences in Psalm 60:7 and Psalm 108:7 and its feminine plural occurrence in Psalm 84:2 are not separately isolated by the APB translation.

1. Cherished person in a relational expression · dominant

   The masculine singular construct forms mark a beloved figure in several clauses: in Deuteronomy 33:12 the APB renders Benjamin as “The beloved of the LORD” and describes his safety and protection. In Isaiah 5:1 the APB twice renders “my beloved” in the song concerning his vineyard; Jeremiah 11:15 addresses “my beloved,” while Psalm 127:2 says that he gives sleep to “his beloved.” The plural forms in Psalm 60:7 and Psalm 108:7 occur in declarations by God, but the APB does not isolate their contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “beloved” in Deuteronomy 33:12, Isaiah 5:1, Jeremiah 11:15, and Psalm 127:2. In Psalm 60:7, Psalm 108:7, and Psalm 84:2, the whole-verse translation does not clearly isolate an English rendering for the term.
