ned denotes a gathered mass, especially waters made to stand together, and once a heap of harvest.

The attested use chiefly describes waters gathered or made to stand as a single mass; a rarer agricultural context describes a mass of harvest. In every occurrence, the form is a masculine singular absolute noun.

1. Waters gathered into one mass · dominant

   In Exodus 15:8 the waters pile up and stand together, while in Joshua 3:13 and Joshua 3:16 the Jordan's descending waters are cut off and stand in one mass. Psalm 33:7 and Psalm 78:13 likewise place the noun in clauses where sea waters are gathered or made to stand; the APB renders these scenes with “heap” or “like a heap.”

2. A mass of harvest · rare

   In Isaiah 17:11, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in the clause concerning seed that sprouts, and the APB renders the resulting yield as “a heap of harvest” amid weakness and incurable pain.

   Isaiah 17:11

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the water scenes, the APB uses “heap,” “one heap,” or “like a heap”; in Isaiah 17:11 it says “a heap of harvest.” These renderings are read as presentations of their clauses rather than fixed equivalents.
