Language

mil.lu denotes settings for stones and, more often, the setting apart marked by a ram, offerings, and completed days.

The dominant usage identifies an ordination-related setting apart, attached to a ram, its portions, offerings, bread, and the completion of days. A smaller group of verses uses the plural noun with stones prepared for the ephod and breastpiece, where the APB presents “settings” or “setting stones.”

Senses in use

  1. Ordination-related setting apart · dominant

    The plural absolute form identifies the ram and its portions in Exodus 29:22, Exodus 29:26, and Exodus 29:27; the APB renders the clauses “the ram of setting.” In Leviticus 8:22 and Leviticus 8:29, the same form marks the second ram and its waved breast in an ordination context, while the construct form in Leviticus 8:33 occurs in the clause about the days being completed.

  2. Settings associated with stones · occasional

    In Exodus 25:7 and Exodus 35:9, the plural absolute form stands with onyx stones and stones intended for the ephod and breastpiece; the APB renders these clauses with “stones of settings” and “setting stones.” In 1 Chronicles 29:2, it appears in a list of materials prepared for the house of God, where the APB includes “onyx stones and settings.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the stone-related verses, the APB uses “settings,” “stones of settings,” and “setting stones.” In the ritual passages it uses “setting” for the ram in Exodus and “ordination” in Leviticus; these renderings reflect whole clauses rather than a word-by-word alignment.
