ka.vod denotes visible glory or splendor, used in scenes of a splendid bed and a woman’s presentation to a king.

The attested use describes visible splendor: Ezekiel 23:41 applies it in the description of a bed, while Psalm 45:14 places it in the scene of embroidered garments and presentation before a king.

Senses in use

  1. Visible splendor in a displayed setting · dominant

    Both occurrences use a common feminine singular absolute noun in scenes of display. In Ezekiel 23:41 the APB renders the bed as “glorious” amid a table, incense, and oil; in Psalm 45:14 the APB presents embroidered garments and a woman being led to the king, though it does not isolate this term with a separate English rendering.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Ezekiel 23:41, the APB explicitly uses “glorious” for the bed. In Psalm 45:14, it presents the surrounding scene of embroidered garments and royal presentation without an identifiable separate rendering for the term.
