Senses in use

  1. Olive-tree shaking with remaining gleanings · dominant

    Both occurrences are masculine singular construct nouns in olive-tree comparisons. In Isaiah 17:6 the APB renders a gleaning remaining "like the shaking of an olive tree," leaving only a few berries; in Isaiah 24:13 it renders the scene "as when an olive tree is shaken," followed by gleanings remaining after the vintage.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the noun through "the shaking of an olive tree" in Isaiah 17:6 and an olive tree being "shaken" in Isaiah 24:13. These phrases show the verse imagery rather than a precise token-by-token rendering.
