nuph describes applying aromatic materials over a bed, while its other attested clause is not isolated by the APB.

The clearest attested use describes applying myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon over a bed in Proverbs 7:17; Psalm 68:10 has a Hiphil form in a clause about God’s provision, but the APB does not isolate the term’s contribution there.

Senses in use

  1. Applying materials over a bed · dominant

    In Proverbs 7:17, the Qal perfect first-person singular form occurs in the speaker’s statement about her bed; the APB renders the clause, “I have sprinkled my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.” Psalm 68:10 has a Hiphil imperfect second-masculine-singular form in a clause addressed to God about provision for the needy, though the APB does not identify a corresponding English word for the form.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly renders the Proverbs 7:17 clause with “sprinkled.” In Psalm 68:10, it presents God’s provision for the needy without an identifiable English rendering for the form.
