Charge connected with tool sharpening · dominant
In 1 Samuel 13:21, the feminine singular absolute noun occurs in the statement concerning plowshares, mattocks, three-pronged forks, axes, and setting the goad. The APB renders the clause, "And the fee for sharpening was a pim," which confirms a charge-related setting but does not isolate the noun's exact English contribution.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Samuel 13:21, the APB presents the clause as "the fee for sharpening was a pim." That wording cannot determine the noun's exact individual rendering.
