she.mesh names the visible heavenly body, marking daylight, daily movement, and the sphere of life observed “under the sun.”

The supplied verses most often place the noun in the setting “under the sun,” framing human toil, injustice, joy, and limits of knowledge; they also describe the visible heavenly body’s rising, shining, and setting as markers of light and time. Further uses locate places toward sunrise or sunset, contrast public action with secrecy, identify it among heavenly objects receiving prohibited worship, and attach it to expressions concerning produce and “sun-stones.”

1. The setting of life “under the sun” · dominant

   In Ecclesiastes 1:3 the APB renders human toil as occurring “under the sun,” while Ecclesiastes 3:16 places observed wickedness in the place of justice within that same setting. Ecclesiastes 8:17 similarly speaks of deeds done “under the sun” that a person cannot fully discover; the singular absolute noun is used in this recurring frame for human observation and activity.

2. Visible light, daily course, and time marker · common

   The singular absolute noun occurs where the APB renders the body’s movement and illumination: “the sun rises and the sun sets” in Ecclesiastes 1:5, light shining on water in 2 Kings 3:22, and its going down at noon in Amos 8:9. It also marks practical limits such as the evening Passover time in Deuteronomy 16:6 and returning a pledge as it sets in Deuteronomy 24:13.

3. Spatial orientation and open visibility · occasional

   In Deuteronomy 11:30 the APB renders a direction “toward the sunset,” and Deuteronomy 4:47 identifies territory “toward the sunrise.” In 2 Samuel 12:11 and 2 Samuel 12:12, the same singular absolute form occurs in the contrast between a deed done secretly and one done “before” the visible sky-light.

4. A heavenly object addressed in worship · rare

   Deuteronomy 4:19 places the noun with the moon and stars as objects people might see, bow down to, and serve. Deuteronomy 17:3 likewise names it among heavenly objects to which someone might bow, and 2 Kings 23:5 describes priests who burned incense in connection with it.

5. Attributive expressions with associated things · rare

   Deuteronomy 33:14 uses the singular absolute noun in an expression the APB renders “choicest produce of the sun.” Isaiah 54:12 has the supplied plural construct form and is rendered “your sun-stones”; these contexts attach the noun to other items rather than narrating its course in the sky.

   Deuteronomy 33:14Isaiah 54:12

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly writes “sun” in descriptions of rising, shining, setting, and heavenly worship, and it repeatedly preserves the phrase “under the sun” in Ecclesiastes. It also varies the surrounding expression with “sunset,” “sunrise,” “choicest produce of the sun,” and “sun-stones”; These are renderings of whole clauses or phrases rather than fixed equivalents for each token.
