Senses in use

  1. Linen material or linen articles · dominant

    In Judges 14:12 and Judges 14:13, the plural form names thirty items that Samson promises to give or requires in return; the APB renders the clause "thirty linen garments." In Isaiah 3:23 the plural stands in a list with turbans and veils, while in Proverbs 31:24 the singular is the object of making and selling; the APB renders "She makes linen and sells it."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the plural as "linen garments" in Judges 14:12 and Judges 14:13, "linens" in Isaiah 3:23, and the singular as "linen" in Proverbs 31:24. These renderings confirm the verses' overall presentation rather than establish separate senses.
