Senses in use

  1. Quivering amid the chariot movement · dominant

    In Nahum 2:4, the Hophal perfect third common plural form occurs in a scene of chariots rushing in the streets; the APB renders the verse with chariots that “rush in the streets” and run “like lightning,” without identifying a separate English equivalent for this form.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Nahum 2:4, the APB presents the surrounding chariot action as rushing and running like lightning and does not clearly isolate this term.
