Senses in use

  1. Describing a people as peeled · dominant

    In Isaiah 18:2, the masculine singular absolute Pual passive participle occurs in the description of a nation to which swift messengers are sent; the APB renders the people as "drawn out and peeled." Isaiah 18:7 repeats the same form in describing the people from whom a gift will be brought to the LORD of Hosts.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the repeated people-description as "drawn out and peeled" in both Isaiah 18:2 and Isaiah 18:7. This rendering confirms the clause's presentation rather than isolating every element of the Hebrew form.
