Language

me.dor denotes a residence or place of living, including a royal setting and a place among wild animals.

The attested use concerns a residence or place of living: Daniel 4:29 places it in a royal-palace setting, while Daniel 5:21 describes a place among wild donkeys; Daniel 4:22 supplies a further construct-form occurrence whose specific contribution is not isolated by the translation.

Senses in use

  1. Residence or place of living · dominant

    All three occurrences are masculine singular construct nouns. In Daniel 4:29 the APB renders the verse as the king walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, and in Daniel 5:21 it explicitly says that his “dwelling was with the wild donkeys.” In Daniel 4:22 the APB describes the king's growth and dominion but does not clearly isolate this term's contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “dwelling” in Daniel 5:21 and presents a royal-palace setting in Daniel 4:29. In Daniel 4:22, its translation does not make the term's contribution identifiable.
