In Luke 11:39 and Matthew 23:25, the genitive singular form occurs in the charge that the inside of a cup and dish is full of it; the APB renders the clauses with “full of plunder.” In Hebrews 10:34, the accusative singular form names what the recipients joyfully accepted regarding their property; the APB renders this “the plundering of your property.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “plunder” in the two cup-and-dish indictments and “the plundering of your property” in Hebrews 10:34. These renderings confirm the clauses’ overall presentation rather than isolate a precise English equivalent.
