Senses in use

  1. A tree in practical and shaded settings · dominant

    The same masculine singular absolute form occurs in two settings: in Genesis 30:37 the APB renders it among the fresh rods Jacob took and peeled, and in Hosea 4:13 the APB renders it among the trees under which offerings were burned because their shade was pleasant.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "poplar" in both Genesis 30:37 and Hosea 4:13. This identifies the verse-level presentation rather than proving a precise lexical equivalence.
