shib.bol denotes grain-bearing heads, shown as full or withered, gathered in harvest, and used in a dream image.

The term most often identifies plural grain-bearing heads in Pharaoh's dream, where they are full and good or thin and scorched. It also occurs in scenes of gleaning, reaping, and withering, while its construct-plural occurrence in Zechariah's olive-tree vision cannot be precisely isolated from the supplied translation.

1. Grain heads in Pharaoh's dream · dominant

   The plural absolute form names the seven units growing on one stalk in Genesis 41:5; the APB renders the scene as "seven ears of grain" that are fat and good. In Genesis 41:6 and Genesis 41:7, corresponding plural forms identify the thin, east-wind-scorched units that swallow the fat and full ones; Genesis 41:26 and Genesis 41:27 interpret the good and thin units within the dream.

2. Heads gathered, reaped, or withering · common

   Plural absolute forms occur in field activity: in Ruth 2:2 the APB renders Ruth's request to glean among "the ears of grain," and in Isaiah 17:5 it renders reaping and gathering ears. Job 24:24 uses the singular absolute form in a comparison with heads of grain that wither.

3. Construct plural in the olive-tree vision · rare

   Zechariah 4:12 contains the construct plural in a question concerning two olive trees beside two golden pipes. The APB renders the surrounding question in terms of "the two olive trees" and pipes, but its loose wording does not isolate this term's particular contribution.

   Zechariah 4:12

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the grain and harvest contexts, the APB commonly uses "ears" or "ears of grain" and calls the Job 24:24 comparison "heads of grain." In Zechariah 4:12 it renders the surrounding vision with olive trees and pipes, without clearly aligning a specific English expression to this term.
