Inner faculty receiving understanding · dominant
In Job 38:36, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in the question of who gives understanding within the human interior; the APB renders the clause, "or given understanding to the mind?" The translation confirms the verse's focus on inward understanding enough to identify a precise English rendering for this noun.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Job 38:36, the APB presents the inward faculty as "the mind" in a clause about receiving understanding. That wording cannot be assigned to the lemma with certainty.
