Senses in use

  1. Surpassing abundance · dominant

    In Isaiah 23:18, the masculine singular absolute adjective occurs in the verse's declaration that profit will belong to those who dwell before the LORD; the APB renders the resulting provision as being able “to eat their fill and to have clothing in abundance.” The verse is read as a whole, so the adjective's precise English contribution cannot be isolated beyond the supplied gloss and the verse's context of abundance.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 23:18, the APB presents the surrounding statement as abundant provision, including “clothing in abundance.” It does not identify a discrete English rendering for the adjective.
