Senses in use

  1. Serpent in a coming-forth image · dominant

    In Isaiah 14:29, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in the clause describing a serpent coming forth from a serpent; the APB renders the clause “out of the root of a serpent a serpent comes forth.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 14:29, the APB presents the clause with “serpent” twice, so the specific English instance corresponding to the lemma cannot be isolated with certainty.
