uts denotes an imperative call to deliberate or form a plan in the situations shown.

The attested use is an imperative addressed to a plural audience, calling for deliberation or planning: Isaiah 8:10 places it in a command concerning a plan that will be frustrated, while Judges 19:30 places it among commands to consider, take counsel, and speak.

Senses in use

  1. Call to deliberate or make a plan · dominant

    Both occurrences use the same Qal imperative, second masculine plural form. In Isaiah 8:10 the APB renders the surrounding command, "Devise a plan, and it will be frustrated"; in Judges 19:30 it occurs in an appeal answered by the sequence "consider it, take counsel, and speak."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the command with "Devise a plan" in Isaiah 8:10 and with counsel-taking language in Judges 19:30. These phrases indicate the clauses' overall presentation rather than fixed English equivalents.
