shiph.ah denotes a great quantity or mass, whether of people, animals, or waters.

The attested construct forms mark a large gathered quantity: a company approaching in 2 Kings 9:17, horses and camels in Ezekiel 26:10 and Isaiah 60:6, and waters that cover in Job 22:11 and Job 38:34.

1. A large gathered quantity · dominant

   The construct forms attach the quantity to a company in 2 Kings 9:17, to horses in Ezekiel 26:10, and to camels in Isaiah 60:6; the APB renders these clauses with “company” and “abundance.” In Job 22:11 and Job 38:34, the same construct form is associated with waters that cover, where the APB renders “a flood of waters.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB varies its presentation across the clauses: “company” in 2 Kings 9:17, “abundance” for animals in Ezekiel 26:10 and Isaiah 60:6, and “a flood of waters” in Job 22:11 and Job 38:34. These renderings show the verse contexts rather than a fixed English equivalent.
