Language

pe.req denotes plunder or spoil, shown as what fills a violent city and what stands amid distress.

The attested use concerns plunder or spoil: Nahum 3:1 depicts a city full of it, while Obadiah 1:14 places it in the setting of survivors and distress.

Senses in use

  1. Plunder or spoil in a setting of violence · dominant

    Both occurrences use the noun in the singular absolute form. In Nahum 3:1 the APB renders the city as “full of lies and plunder” and immediately mentions prey; in Obadiah 1:14 the APB renders the clause “Do not stand upon the plunder” in a warning concerning survivors in distress.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “plunder” in both Nahum 3:1 and Obadiah 1:14. This repeated wording confirms the verses' overall presentation rather than isolating the term mechanically.
