Senses in use

  1. Elevation in a high-refuge portrayal · dominant

    In Psalm 48:3, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in the verse's portrayal of God as known in her citadels; the APB renders the verse, “God is known in her citadels as a high refuge.” The translation supports an elevated setting, though it does not isolate the noun's exact English equivalent.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Psalm 48:3 the APB presents the verse with “a high refuge,” and does not identify a distinct English rendering for the noun.
