Senses in use

  1. Clothing worn or described · dominant

    In Daniel 3:21, the masculine plural construct form occurs in the list of clothing on the men who were bound and cast into the furnace; the APB renders the verse with “their other garments.” In Daniel 7:9, the masculine singular construct form describes what was white like snow; the APB renders the clause “His garment was white like snow.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the clothing in Daniel 3:21 as “their other garments” and in Daniel 7:9 as “His garment.” These renderings confirm the verse-level clothing context rather than establish separate meanings.
