In Genesis 24:63, the Qal infinitive construct occurs in the clause describing Isaac's going out into the field toward evening before he lifts his eyes and sees camels coming. The APB renders the clause, “Isaac went out to meditate in the field toward evening.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Genesis 24:63, the APB presents the activity as “to meditate in the field.” This rendering is confirmed by the verse's clause rather than treated as a separate lexical distinction.
