Senses in use

  1. Horses in varied practical and martial settings · dominant

    The plural forms occur in clauses concerning a king's chariots in 1 Samuel 8:11, a cart's crushing action in Isaiah 28:28, listed wares from Togarmah in Ezekiel 27:14, and commands to harness and mount in Jeremiah 46:4. In Joel 2:4, the plural form appears in the comparison of an appearance and running movement to horses; the APB renders the verse, “Like the appearance of horses is his appearance, and like horses so they run.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the relevant clauses with “horses” in Isaiah 28:28 and Joel 2:4, while the surrounding contexts in the other verses concern chariots, wares, and military preparation. It does not always isolate the contribution of the Hebrew form.
