Senses in use

  1. First-person plural personal reference · dominant

    All five occurrences are decoded as personal, first-person common plural pronouns. In Exodus 16:7 and Exodus 16:8, the speakers distinguish themselves from the LORD amid complaints; in Genesis 42:11 the APB renders a collective self-description, in Lamentations 3:42 a collective confession, and in Numbers 32:32 a collective commitment to cross over armed.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the pronoun through first-person plural phrasing across self-description, confession, and commitment. Its particular English phrasing does not isolate the term in every clause.
