Senses in use

  1. Abundance or accumulated gain · dominant

    In Isaiah 15:7, the singular absolute form occurs in the clause that the APB renders “he has made abundance.” In Jeremiah 48:36, the singular construct form occurs in the statement that “the abundance he gained has perished,” showing abundance as something acquired and subject to loss.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “abundance” in both verses, first for what has been made and then for what has been gained and has perished. These phrases confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than isolate every nuance of the term.
