The genitive singular masculine form occurs in directional sequences in both verses. In Luke 13:29 the APB renders people coming "from east and west and from north and south"; in Revelation 21:13 it renders gate placement "on the north" alongside the other directions.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the directional term as "from north" in Luke 13:29 and "on the north" in Revelation 21:13. These phrases reflect the surrounding clauses rather than a word-for-word alignment.
