Senses in use

  1. Loud cry or audible sound · dominant

    In Exodus 32:17, the construct form occurs in Joshua's report of the sound of the people; the APB renders the scene with people “shouting” and a “sound of war.” In Job 36:33, the construct form occurs in the statement about thunder, while Micah 4:9 uses the absolute form in a question about crying aloud as agony seizes the hearer; the APB renders these clauses with “thunder” and “cry aloud.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the three clauses with “shouting,” “thunder,” and “cry aloud.” These expressions show the verses' varied audible settings rather than fixed English renderings of the lemma.
