Senses in use

  1. Edible provisions or supply · dominant

    In Job 38:41, the construct form occurs in the question of what is provided for the raven when its young lack food; the APB renders the verse with “prey” and “food.” In Joshua 9:14 the men take provisions, while Nehemiah 13:15 places the absolute form in a Sabbath-day setting of selling food; Psalm 132:15 speaks of food being blessed and needy people being satisfied.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the relevant contexts with “prey,” “food,” and “provisions.” These terms confirm the verses' edible-supply setting rather than isolate a fixed English equivalent.
