lun describes spending the night in a place, and also what remains there through the night until morning.

The verb most often describes people or animals spending the night at a specified place, whether in a house, camp, street, wilderness, or shelter. It also describes flesh, wages, a corpse, and dew remaining overnight, and in several clauses portrays righteousness, evil schemes, error, or mockers as abiding with or within someone.

1. Spend the night at a place · dominant

   This is the ordinary use for travelers, groups, and animals staying somewhere overnight. In Genesis 19:2 the Qal imperatives invite visitors to stay at a house or propose staying in the street; in Joshua 3:1 the group stays by the Jordan before crossing, while Job 39:28 describes an animal staying on a rock and stronghold. The APB renders these clauses with “lodge,” “lodged,” “spent the night,” and “stays.”

2. Remain through the night until morning · common

   With nonhuman subjects, the verb marks something being left or continuing overnight. Deuteronomy 16:4 says sacrificial flesh must not stay until morning, Leviticus 19:13 forbids wages remaining with an employer until morning, and Deuteronomy 21:23 prohibits a body remaining overnight on a tree. The APB variously renders the clauses “lodge,” “remain overnight,” and “shall not remain overnight.”

3. Abide or remain with or within · occasional

   Several clauses use the verb for what is present in or with a person or place rather than for a physical overnight stay. In Isaiah 1:21, righteousness is said to have lodged in the city; Jeremiah 4:14 asks how long evil schemes will lodge within Jerusalem; and Job 19:4 places error with the speaker. The APB renders these clauses with “lodged,” “lodge,” and “lodges,”.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the verses, the APB commonly uses “lodge” or “lodged,” but also uses “spent the night,” “stay,” “remain overnight,” and “dwells.” These render the clauses broadly; the translation does not mark a one-to-one English equivalent for the Hebrew form.
