Senses in use
-
Full of a stated content or quality · dominant
The adjective marks a thing or place as full: a field of lentils in 2 Samuel 23:11, a cart of sheaves in Amos 2:13, and a city or town marked by justice, shouts, or lies and plunder in Isaiah 1:21, Isaiah 22:2, and Nahum 3:1. In Isaiah 1:21 the form is feminine singular construct; the APB renders the clause "full of justice."
-
Yield or produce in agricultural contexts · common
Noun occurrences appear with agricultural yield and contribution: in Deuteronomy 22:9 the APB renders "the whole yield," and in Numbers 18:27 it describes a contribution reckoned like grain from a threshing floor or fruit from a winepress. Exodus 22:28 also has a feminine singular construct noun form, though the supplied APB rendering does not make its specific contribution visible.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB often expresses the adjective with "full of," as in the field, cart, city, and town clauses. For noun occurrences it uses "yield" and refers to grain and fruit; its rendering of Exodus 22:28 does not visibly isolate the term.
