Senses in use

  1. Describing a divided kingdom · dominant

    In Daniel 2:41, the feminine singular absolute Qal passive participle describes the kingdom in the vision of feet and toes that are partly clay and partly iron; the APB renders the clause “the kingdom will be divided,” while also stating that some firmness of iron remains.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 2:41, the APB presents the clause as “the kingdom will be divided.” This rendering confirms the clause's overall presentation rather than isolating every contribution of the form.
