Food portions for eating and sharing · dominant
In Nehemiah 8:10, the masculine plural absolute form occurs in the instruction to eat and to send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared. The APB renders the clause, "Go, eat fat pieces and drink sweetness," within that shared-meal setting.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Nehemiah 8:10, the APB presents the term within the phrase "eat fat pieces." The precise contribution of the Hebrew form is limited to the verse's food-and-sharing context.
