Senses in use

  1. A tree in planted and beautifying tree lists · dominant

    In Isaiah 41:19, the feminine singular absolute form occurs in a list of trees that the APB renders as being given in the wilderness and set in the Arabah. In Isaiah 60:13, the same form occurs in a comparable list, which the APB renders as coming to beautify the place of the sanctuary and honor the place of God's feet.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “box tree” in both Isaiah 41:19 and Isaiah 60:13, within lists of trees. This identifies the presentation of the verse rather than a precise word-for-word rendering.
