The feminine singular forms occur with the gate named in Acts 3:2 and Acts 3:10; the APB renders it as the “Beautiful” gate. The masculine nominative plural form is used of graves that “outwardly appear beautiful” in Matthew 23:27 and of the feet of those bringing good news in Romans 10:15, where the APB renders the clause “How beautiful are the feet.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with “Beautiful” for the gate and “beautiful” for the graves’ outward appearance and for the messengers’ feet. These are translation renderings of whole clauses.
