### Examples From the Bible
> He has one people **scattered** and **dispersed** among the peoples (Esther 3:8 ULT)
> The tents of robbers prosper, and securities {are} to the provokers of God (Job 12:6 ULT)
The bolded words mean the same thing. Together they mean the people were spread out.
Job is using the plural form **securities** to indicate that these provokers of God experience security to a supreme extent.
> Now you had cast me deep into the heart of the seas (Jonah 2:3 ULT)
Jonah refers to the sea using the plural **seas** to intensify the idea of either the sea's vastness or activity.
