Senses in use

  1. Bildad's gentilic designation · dominant

    In Job 8:1, Job 18:1, and Job 25:1, the masculine singular gentilic form identifies Bildad as he begins to answer. In Job 2:11 and Job 42:9, the same form identifies Bildad among the men named alongside Eliphaz and Zophar; the APB renders the designation as “the Shuhite.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all supplied verses, the APB presents the designation as “the Shuhite” after Bildad's name. This rendering is confirmed by the repeated identifying clause rather than treated as a separate lexical distinction.
