na.hag denotes a plural feminine participial action in Nahum 2:8, set amid Nineveh's flight and calls to stand.

The lone attestation places the plural feminine participle amid Nineveh's flight and the calls “Stand, stand”; the translation does not isolate its specific contribution clearly enough for a more precise contextual expansion.

Senses in use

  1. Action amid Nineveh's flight · dominant

    In Nahum 2:8, the feminine plural active participle occurs in a clause about Nineveh as people flee; the APB renders the surrounding verse, “Nineveh is like a pool of water from her day, and they flee. Stand, stand, and none turns.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Nahum 2:8, the APB presents the scene as Nineveh's flight and repeated calls to “Stand,” but its loose, whole-verse wording does not identify a distinct English rendering for the participle.
