Language

o.neg denotes a valued delight, whether associated with a place or with honoring the Sabbath.

The two attestations present o.neg as delight in distinct settings: associated with temples in Isaiah 13:22 and with the Sabbath as something to be called and honored in Isaiah 58:13.

Senses in use

  1. Delight associated with a place or observance · dominant

    Both occurrences use the masculine singular absolute noun in a noun phrase. In Isaiah 13:22 the APB renders the phrase "temples of delight" amid the description of wild animals dwelling in desolate places; in Isaiah 58:13 it renders the clause "call the Sabbath a delight" within instructions about honoring the holy day.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "delight" in both verses, once in "temples of delight" and once in "call the Sabbath a delight." These phrases confirm the verse contexts without fixing every detail of the noun's contribution.
