Senses in use

  1. A named destination in a campaign narrative · dominant

    In Genesis 14:7, the form is tagged as a proper noun and occurs after the group “returned and came to” the named location; the APB renders the clause “came to En-mishpat (it is Kadesh)” before describing attacks on the land of the Amalekite and the Amorite.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Genesis 14:7, the APB presents the term as “En-mishpat” and adds “(it is Kadesh).” The parenthetical identification is reported as part of its verse rendering rather than as a separate lexical sense.
