1. Upper head area · dominant

   The noun identifies the upper part of a person's head in bodily descriptions. In Deuteronomy 28:35 and Job 2:7, the APB renders the extent of affliction as running from the sole of the foot to the "crown" of the head; in Genesis 49:26 and Deuteronomy 33:16, it is the location upon which blessings are said to rest. Deuteronomy 33:20 and Jeremiah 2:16 place the same body area in scenes of tearing or grazing.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the term with "crown," while Genesis 49:26 has "brow" and Deuteronomy 33:20 has "scalp." In Psalm 68:22 and Psalm 7:17, the supplied translation does not visibly isolate a corresponding English expression, so its specific rendering there remains unclear.
