    The adjective specifies counted items and persons: in Acts 11:12 the APB renders “These six brothers,” and in John 2:6 it renders “Six stone water jars.” It also marks time and other counted entities: John 12:1 has “six days,” Luke 13:14 has “six days on which it is necessary to work,” Revelation 4:8 has “six wings,” and Revelation 13:18 includes it within “six hundred sixty-six.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB regularly displays the numerical quantity explicitly, as in “six brothers,” “six days,” “six months,” and “six wings.” In Revelation 13:18 it presents the term as part of the larger total “six hundred sixty-six”; these renderings reflect whole clauses rather than a word-by-word alignment.
