tsar describes restricted space, and in some clauses a condition of being limited or constricted.

The attested usage chiefly describes places with insufficient room or restricted passage: a dwelling place, a place to turn, and a well. In other clauses it is associated with strength becoming limited and with the River described as “narrow”; its precise contribution in the weapon clause of Job is not clear from the translation.

1. restricted space or passage · dominant

   The masculine singular absolute form describes a dwelling place as too confined in 2 Kings 6:1 and Isaiah 49:20; in each verse the APB renders the place as “too narrow.” In Numbers 22:26 it marks a place with no room to turn right or left, while the feminine singular form in Proverbs 23:27 occurs in the comparison of a foreign woman to a “narrow well.”

   2 Kings 6:1Isaiah 49:20Numbers 22:26Proverbs 23:27
2. limited or constricted condition · occasional

   In Proverbs 24:10, the masculine singular absolute form occurs in the clause where strength becomes “narrow” during a day of distress. In Isaiah 59:19, the active participle is placed with the River, which the APB describes as “narrow”; the translation does not make the term's precise contribution beyond constriction fully distinct.

   Proverbs 24:10Isaiah 59:19
3. unclear use in a weapon clause · rare

   In Job 41:7, the masculine singular absolute form occurs in the question about filling skin and head with spears. The APB does not visibly reflect the term with a corresponding English expression, so the specific nuance cannot be isolated from this verse.

   Job 41:7

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “narrow” for places in 2 Kings 6:1, Isaiah 49:20, Numbers 22:26, and Proverbs 23:27, and also for the River in Isaiah 59:19 and strength in Proverbs 24:10. In Job 41:7 it gives no evident corresponding English wording; These renderings do not by themselves define the term.
