tse.med denotes a paired set, most often animals counted, driven, or traveling together, and sometimes a field-measure unit.

The term most often marks animals or riders as a paired set: oxen are counted, used for plowing, sacrificed, or listed as livestock, while donkeys, mules, and horsemen also occur in pairs. In two agricultural contexts, its plural construct form occurs in statements about a furrow and vineyard acreage, where the APB presents a field-measure context.

1. A paired set of animals or riders · dominant

   The construct singular marks a pair attached to animals in travel, livestock, or work: in 1 Samuel 11:7 the APB renders Saul taking “a pair of oxen,” and in 1 Kings 19:21 it describes taking and sacrificing that pair. Plural and singular forms also occur with plowing oxen, saddled donkeys, and horsemen in 1 Kings 19:19, Judges 19:10, and Isaiah 21:7.

2. A cultivated-land unit · occasional

   In agricultural descriptions, the plural construct form is associated with the extent of a field or vineyard rather than a named animal pair. In 1 Samuel 14:14 the APB renders the setting as “half a furrow's length in a field,” while in Isaiah 5:10 it renders the clause as “ten acres of vineyard.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the term through phrases such as “pair of oxen,” “pair of saddled donkeys,” and “pair of horsemen.” In 1 Samuel 14:14 and Isaiah 5:10, it instead gives field-related wording; These renderings indicate the verse context rather than a fixed English equivalent.
