qur denotes woven webs in Isaiah’s image of spiderwork that cannot become a covering.

The term is used for woven webs: in Isaiah’s paired image, such webs are made yet cannot become a garment or cover their makers.

Senses in use

  1. Woven webs that fail as a covering · dominant

    Both occurrences are masculine plural construct forms within Isaiah’s image of weaving. In Isaiah 59:5 the APB renders the clause "weave webs of a spider," while Isaiah 59:6 presents "Their webs" as unable to become a garment or cover those associated with them.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term through "webs of a spider" in Isaiah 59:5 and "Their webs" in Isaiah 59:6. These renderings confirm the verse-level image rather than fixing a separate English equivalent.
