qe.tseh denotes a limit that is absent in statements of abundance or accumulation.

The attested clauses use the noun to deny a limit: treasures and chariots in Isaiah 2:7, strength in Nahum 3:9, and bodies amid slaughter in Nahum 3:3; Nahum 2:10 occurs within a declaration of devastation whose specific contribution is less clear in the translation.

Senses in use

  1. No limit in abundance or accumulation · dominant

    In Isaiah 2:7, the singular absolute form occurs in clauses for which the APB renders "there was no end" to treasures and chariots. In Nahum 3:3, the same form stands in the report of abundant slain and corpses, where the APB renders "there is no end to the bodies"; Nahum 3:9 likewise places it in the statement of Cush's strength, rendered "there is no end."

  2. Limit within a devastation declaration · rare

    In Nahum 2:10, the singular absolute form appears with repeated emptiness and waste, followed by physical anguish and pale faces. The APB's verse rendering does not isolate the noun's contribution clearly enough to specify a narrower English rendering.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB repeatedly renders the relevant clauses with "no end" or "there is no end" in Isaiah 2:7, Nahum 3:3, and Nahum 3:9. In Nahum 2:10, its translation presents devastation without isolating a corresponding English expression.
