The dative singular form in Acts 7:40 occurs in a direct address asking for gods to go before the speakers; the APB renders the address "to Aaron." The nominative and genitive singular forms identify the same named figure in the clause about being called by God in Hebrews 5:4, the priestly order in Hebrews 7:11, the rod that had budded in Hebrews 9:4, and the daughters named in Luke 1:5.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name directly in Acts 7:40 and Hebrews 5:4, and with possessive or relational wording in "order of Aaron," "Aaron's rod," and "daughters of Aaron." These renderings reflect whole clauses rather than definitions.
