remainder
she.ar denotes those or what remains beyond a named group, including people, beasts, and resources.

Senses in use
-
People or beings outside the named group · dominant
The construct singular form identifies a collective group beyond those specifically named: in Daniel 2:18 the APB renders Daniel and his companions as facing destruction with “the rest of the wise men of Babylon,” while Ezra 4:9 and Ezra 4:17 speak of the remaining associates. Ezra 6:16 likewise places the rest of the sons of the exile alongside Israel, priests, and Levites.
-
Other beasts after the focal beast · common
In Daniel 7:12 the construct singular occurs in the clause about “the rest of the beasts” after their dominion is removed. In Daniel 7:7 and Daniel 7:19, the determined singular marks those trampled by the fourth beast’s feet; the APB renders this as “the remainder” and “the rest.”
-
Remaining funds or additional provision · occasional
In Ezra 7:18 the construct singular occurs with silver and gold, in a clause the APB renders “the remainder of the silver and the gold.” Ezra 7:20 uses the same form where the APB speaks of whatever else is needed for the house of God.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB uses “rest,” “remnant,” and “remainder,” and in Ezra 7:20 expresses the clause as “whatever else.” These renderings show the verse-level presentation rather than fixed English equivalents.
