In Matthew 13:47, the dative singular feminine form occurs in the comparison to something thrown into the sea and gathering from every family; the APB renders the clause "like a dragnet that was thrown into the sea and gathered from every family."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Matthew 13:47, the APB presents the item as a "dragnet" that is thrown into the sea. The verse is read as a whole, but the clause clearly supplies this image.
