kol marks a whole group, realm, or set, and can extend the statement to every member or any instance.

The attested noun use marks comprehensive scope: a whole collection, territory, or set is viewed together, and in some clauses the scope extends distributively to every person, kind, or possible instance. The supplied verses also include tokens tagged as conjunctions, whose specific contribution is not isolated by the translation.

Senses in use

  1. The whole of a group, realm, or collection · dominant

    Noun tokens tagged common masculine singular construct accompany comprehensive groups and domains. In Daniel 2:35 the APB renders the stone as filling “the whole earth,” while Daniel 2:48 places Daniel over “the whole province of Babylon” and over the wise men; Daniel 6:25 similarly addresses peoples, nations, and languages dwelling in “all the earth.”

  2. Every member, kind, or possible instance · common

    In clauses concerning classes or repeated obligations, the noun-tagged form extends the statement across individual members or kinds. Daniel 3:10 describes every person hearing the instruments and “every kind of music”; Daniel 3:29 extends a decree to every people, nation, and language, and Daniel 6:5 frames the search for any occasion against Daniel.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited clauses, the APB commonly uses “all,” “whole,” and “every,” and at times expresses comprehensive scope through “no,” “none,” or “any.” Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these English terms only indicate the clauses’ overall presentation.
