Senses in use

  1. Pouring or flowing out · dominant

    In Job 28:2 the Qal imperfect form occurs in the clause where stone yields bronze, and in Job 29:6 it occurs where rock yields streams of oil. Isaiah 26:16 uses the Qal perfect plural form for distressed people who pour out a whisper; the APB renders these clauses with “pours out” and “poured out.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with “pours out” for stone and rock in Job 28:2 and Job 29:6, and “poured out” for the whispered expression in Isaiah 26:16. These renderings show the clauses' presentation rather than a precise lexical mapping.
