In Hebrews 5:11, the nominative singular masculine adjective describes the subject introduced as something about which there is much to say; the APB renders the clause, "and it is hard to interpret," and connects this difficulty with the audience having become "dull in the hearings."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Hebrews 5:11, the APB presents the clause as "it is hard to interpret." This rendering confirms the clause's overall presentation rather than isolating every aspect of the adjective.
