mar.veh denotes a plentiful quantity, shown in a division of spoil and in an unrendered clause of Isaiah 9:6.

The attested use points to a plentiful quantity: in Isaiah 33:23 it occurs in the clause concerning spoil divided in abundance, while its specific contribution in Isaiah 9:6 is not isolated by the translation.

  1. A plentiful quantity · dominant

    Both occurrences are masculine singular construct nouns. In Isaiah 33:23 the form stands in the clause about spoil being divided, and the APB renders that clause "Then the prey of spoil in abundance is divided"; in Isaiah 9:6 the same construct form occurs, but the APB does not make its specific contribution identifiable.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 33:23, the APB includes "in abundance" in the spoil-distribution clause. In Isaiah 9:6, its loose, non-one-to-one rendering does not clearly identify an English equivalent for the term.
