Senses in use

  1. Flower or blossom in plant imagery · dominant

    In Isaiah 18:5, the feminine singular absolute form occurs in a scene before harvest, where the APB renders the verse with the flower finished and the vine becoming a blossom. In Job 15:33, the feminine singular construct form appears in the comparison of an olive tree that throws off its flower.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the plant image with both “flower” and “blossom” in Isaiah 18:5 and with “flower” in Job 15:33. These English terms confirm the verse-level imagery rather than isolate a precise rendering in each clause.
