אֲסֻפָּה: n.f. collection [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/tanakh/1488/627/#m2)

**The whole BDB entry:** n.f. collection (cf. Ph. אספת assembly) only בַּעֲלֵי אֲסֻפּוֹת Ec 12:11 (דִּבְרֵי חֲכָמִים) compared to driven nails; members of learned assemblies Thes MV al.; so postB. Heb. NHWBi. 127; but Hitz-Now al. refer to the wise utterances, called lords (possessors) of collection because of their well-connected grouping.

Why these entries: BDB: headword, part of speech agrees, 1 of its verses cited, 0 words shared with the glosses, lists its Strong's number (2 candidates); OSHB: headword, part of speech agrees, 1 words shared with the BDB entry, 0 with the glosses (2 candidates)
