Senses in use

  1. Pasture or grazing area · dominant

    In Isaiah 30:23, the singular masculine absolute form occurs in the clause about livestock grazing; the APB renders the setting as "broad pastures." In Psalm 37:20, the plural masculine absolute form occurs in a comparison of the enemies of the LORD with the glory of pastures, which the APB says vanishes like smoke.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "pastures" in both verses, once as the broad place where livestock graze and once within the phrase "the glory of the pastures." It does not establish more precise distinctions between the singular and plural forms.
