Senses in use

  1. Persons identified by their birth · dominant

    The singular form marks a son in Exodus 1:22 and 2 Samuel 12:14, while the plural form identifies children born in Jerusalem in 2 Samuel 5:14 and people born in the wilderness in Joshua 5:5. In Joshua 5:5 the APB renders the clause "all the people born in the wilderness," distinguishing them from those who came out of Egypt.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited verses, the APB presents the relevant clauses with "born," including a son born to someone, children born in Jerusalem, and people born in the wilderness. These phrases confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than isolate an exact English equivalent.
