Senses in use

  1. Eagle in descriptive imagery · dominant

    In Daniel 7:4, the singular absolute form occurs in the description of the first figure, which the APB renders as being like a lion and having “wings of an eagle.” A plural absolute form also occurs in Daniel 4:30, though the supplied APB rendering of the king's statement does not show a corresponding eagle expression.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 7:4, the APB explicitly renders the image as “wings of an eagle.” In Daniel 4:30, its supplied translation does not visibly render the term.
