In Acts 2:45, the accusative plural form occurs in the clause about selling possessions and distributing to each person according to need. In Hebrews 10:34, the accusative singular form stands in the clause about joyfully accepting the plundering of property; the APB also contrasts this with a better, abiding possession.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the relevant possessions as “property” in both verses, alongside “possessions” in Acts 2:45 and “possession” in Hebrews 10:34. These terms identify the verse-level presentation rather than a precise one-to-one rendering.
