mur denotes altering something, especially exchanging one thing for another or changing a valued condition, portion, or commitment.

The attested uses chiefly describe alteration: glory is changed, an aroma remains unchanged, an oath is not changed, and a people's portion is changed. A closely related concrete use concerns substituting one animal or land holding for another, especially in prohibitions against such exchange.

1. Altering a condition, possession, or commitment · dominant

   Hiphil forms occur where something is altered: in Hosea 4:7 and Jeremiah 2:11 the APB renders the clauses about changing glory, while Psalm 106:20 describes glory being changed for the pattern of an ox. In Jeremiah 48:11 the Niphal perfect occurs in the statement that Moab's aroma has not changed; Psalm 15:4 similarly says that a person who swears to his own hurt does not change. Micah 2:4 places the Hiphil imperfect in a lament over a changed portion of the people.

2. Substituting one thing for another · common

   In Leviticus 27:10 and Leviticus 27:33, repeated Hiphil imperfect forms stand in prohibitions against substituting one animal for another; the APB renders both clauses with “exchange” and “substitute.” Ezekiel 48:14 likewise uses a Hiphil jussive amid prohibitions against selling, exchanging, or transferring the holy first portion of land.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the clauses with “changed,” “exchange,” “substitute,” and “does not change.” These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions; in Psalm 46:3, the supplied APB wording does not clearly isolate the contribution of the infinitive form.
