**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.

<!-- .note -->
