Senses in use

  1. Birds in plural reference · dominant

    All supplied forms are feminine plural: determined in Daniel 4:11, construct in Daniel 4:18 and Daniel 4:9, and absolute in Daniel 4:30. The APB places these verses in the tree’s growth, the dream’s interpretation, Belteshazzar’s address, and the king’s declaration about Babylon, but it does not visibly render this term itself.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB translation does not visibly supply an English rendering for the term in Daniel 4:11, Daniel 4:18, Daniel 4:30, or Daniel 4:9. Its treatment cannot identify a specific English equivalent here.
