  1. Designation of the Ancient of Days · dominant

    In Daniel 7:9 and Daniel 7:13, the adjective is tagged masculine singular construct in the designation for the figure who sits down amid thrones and before whom one like a son of man is presented. In Daniel 7:22, the form is tagged as a proper noun as the same figure arrives and judgment is given to the holy ones; the APB renders the designation “Ancient of Days” in all three verses.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently presents the designation as “Ancient of Days” in Daniel 7:9, Daniel 7:13, and Daniel 7:22. This consistency confirms the verse-level designation rather than isolating an English equivalent for the lemma alone.
