Senses in use

  1. Describing a hired razor · dominant

    In Isaiah 7:20, the feminine singular absolute form modifies the razor in the clause that the APB renders “with a razor hired from beyond the River”; the verse then depicts shaving the head, leg hair, and beard.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 7:20, the APB presents the relevant clause as “with a razor hired from beyond the River.” This identifies the clause’s presentation rather than a precise word-for-word mapping.
