Senses in use

  1. Proper place name · dominant

    Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In Joshua 15:29 the APB renders a list, “Baalah, Iyim, and Ezem”; in Numbers 33:45 it renders the departure clause, “They set out from Iyim and camped at Dibon-gad.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Iyim” in both verses: once within a list of places and once as the location from which the group sets out. These clauses establish the place-name use rather than a finer English equivalent.
