Senses in use

  1. A heap enlarged or prepared for burning · dominant

    In Ezekiel 24:9, the singular absolute form occurs in the declaration that the heap will be enlarged. In Isaiah 30:33, the singular construct form is described as deep and wide, with fire and wood in abundance; the APB renders the clauses "I also will enlarge the pile" and "its pile made deep and wide."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "pile" in both verses, once enlarged and once made deep and wide. These clauses confirm the scene without isolating every nuance of the Hebrew term.
