In Acts 7:4, the genitive plural noun occurs in the phrase describing Abraham's departure from their land; the APB renders the clause, “he went out from the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 7:4, the APB presents the term in “the land of the Chaldeans.” This rendering is confirmed by the clause rather than treated as a precise lexical equation.
