   The accusative singular feminine form occurs in Hebrews 11:29 in the setting of the Egyptians' attempted crossing; the APB renders that they “attempted the same” and were swallowed up. In Hebrews 11:36, the same form occurs amid others who suffered mockery, flogging, chains, and imprisonment; the APB does not isolate the term's contribution from the surrounding description of suffering.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The translation presents the two contexts as an attempted crossing in Hebrews 11:29 and as suffering in Hebrews 11:36, rather than supplying a clearly one-to-one rendering for the term.
