Senses in use

  1. Perizzite people in land and conflict lists · dominant

    The masculine singular absolute Gentilic occurs in grouped designations of peoples: in Exodus 3:8 the APB renders the destination as the place of several named peoples, and in Deuteronomy 7:1 it names this people among nations to be dispossessed. In Judges 1:4 the APB renders the Canaanite and this people as given into Judah's hand, while Joshua 17:15 refers to their land.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Perizzite” or “Perizzites” within lists of peoples and in references to their land or conflict with them. These English forms confirm the verse-level presentation rather than isolate every contribution of the Hebrew token.
