iv.ver describes people or animals without sight and, in some passages, impaired perception or disorientation.

The adjective most often identifies people or animals lacking sight, whether in protections for vulnerable persons, descriptions of bodily condition, or promises that eyes will see. A smaller cluster applies the image to people who have eyes yet do not perceive, to watchmen who do not know, and to those moving in disorientation.

1. Without sight, of people or animals · dominant

   The adjective marks a person whose lack of sight makes mistreatment especially harmful: in Deuteronomy 27:18 the APB renders the clause "misleads a blind person on the road," and in Leviticus 19:14 it forbids placing an obstacle before such a person. It also describes an animal with a blemish in Deuteronomy 15:21 and Malachi 1:8, while Isaiah 35:5 and Psalm 146:8 speak of the eyes of such persons being opened.

2. Figurative lack of perception or direction · common

   In Isaiah 42:18 the APB renders an address to those called "blind" with the command to look in order to see; Isaiah 42:19 applies the adjective in questions about the servant and messenger. Isaiah 56:10 calls watchmen "blind" and says that they do not know, while Isaiah 59:10 and Zephaniah 1:17 use movement like that of the blind to portray groping or constrained walking.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the adjective with "blind," including persons, animals, and plural groups; it also uses that wording in passages where the surrounding clauses portray lack of knowledge, groping, or the need to see. These renderings confirm the verse-level presentation rather than assign an English token mechanically to each form.
