International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [3]
an´sẽr - a - b'l : This word is found in the Old Testament only. Moses and Ezekiel alone use it ( Exodus 38:18; Ezekiel 40:18; Ezekiel 45:7; Ezekiel 48:13 , Ezekiel 48:18 ). It is used in the Old English sense of "corresponding to," "in harmony with." Bunyan uses it in the same sense ( Holy War , Clar. Press ed., 92).
