pot denotes door fittings in 1 Kings 7:50; its singular use in Isaiah 3:17 is not isolated by the translation.

The clearest attested use is for gold fittings associated with doors in 1 Kings 7:50. In Isaiah 3:17, the singular construct form occurs in a judgment clause, but the APB’s wording does not isolate the term’s contribution with confidence.

Senses in use

  1. Door fittings · common

    The plural absolute form occurs in a list of gold objects associated with doors of the inner house and main hall. In 1 Kings 7:50 the APB renders the clause "as were the gold hinges for the doors of the inner house, the Most Holy Place, and for the doors of the main hall."

  2. Unclear singular use in a judgment clause · common

    The singular construct form occurs in the clause describing what the LORD will uncover concerning the daughters of Zion. In Isaiah 3:17 the APB renders "and the LORD will uncover their secret parts," and does not clearly identify this term’s specific contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Kings 7:50, the APB explicitly presents gold hinges for doors. In Isaiah 3:17, it renders the clause with "secret parts," but its loose, non-whole-verse phrasing leaves the term’s individual rendering uncertain.
