Senses in use

  1. Fields within a designated holy area · dominant

    In Jeremiah 31:40, the feminine plural absolute form occurs in the list of areas extending toward the brook Kidron and the Horse Gate. The APB renders the surrounding clause “and all the fields,” then describes the whole designated area as holy to the LORD.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Jeremiah 31:40, the APB includes “all the fields” in its rendering of the listed area. That wording can only be treated as the verse’s presentation of the clause.
