Senses in use

  1. Offering presented with sacrifices · dominant

    In Ezra 7:17, the construct plural form occurs in the list purchased with bulls, rams, lambs, and grain offerings; the APB renders the clause "together with their grain offerings and their drink offerings" and then speaks of offering them on the altar.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Ezra 7:17, the APB presents it within the offering list as "drink offerings." This rendering is confirmed by the clause's list context rather than by alignment alone.
