    In Matthew 27:7 and Matthew 27:10, the genitive singular form occurs in the phrase rendered by the APB as “the potter's field.” In Romans 9:21, the nominative singular form names the figure who makes two vessels from the same lump of clay; the APB renders the clause, “Has the potter no right over the clay.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “potter” in the field phrase of Matthew 27:7 and Matthew 27:10 and as the maker who acts on clay in Romans 9:21. These renderings confirm the clauses' presentation rather than isolating each word mechanically.
