Senses in use

  1. City name in succession notices · dominant

    In Genesis 36:39, the proper noun occurs in the clause naming the successor's city after Baal-hanan's death; the APB renders the clause, "the name of his city was Pau." In 1 Chronicles 1:50, the same proper-noun use appears in the parallel succession notice, again rendered as the name of Hadad's city.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the term as "Pau" in the clause naming a city. This identifies the term's place in the verse rather than establishing a broader lexical rendering.
