Senses in use

  1. Animal named in an enumerated list · dominant

    In Deuteronomy 14:5, the masculine singular absolute form occurs among a sequence of animal names; the APB renders the list with “the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck” and further animals. The same form appears in 1 Kings 5:3, but that verse's supplied APB rendering concerns David and surrounding wars, so the term's specific contribution there is not identifiable from the translation.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Deuteronomy 14:5, the APB includes “the roebuck” within an animal list. In 1 Kings 5:3, the supplied translation provides no identifiable corresponding animal expression.
