Senses in use

  1. Growing in prosperity or flourishing · dominant

    In Psalm 73:12, the Hiphil perfect plural form occurs in the statement about wicked people who are at ease; the APB renders the clause "they increase in wealth." In Psalm 92:13, the Qal imperfect singular form occurs of those planted in the house of the LORD; the APB renders the result as "they will flourish in the courts."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term through "increase in wealth" in Psalm 73:12 and "flourish" in Psalm 92:13. These renderings confirm the verses' growth imagery rather than isolate a precise English equivalent.
