   Joshua 3:16

In the Anselm Paraphrase: The APB presents the individual plainly as "Adam" in the genealogical, narrative, and comparison verses, and identifies the Joshua location as "Adam, the city beside Zarethan." Because the paraphrase is not word-aligned, its surrounding wording cannot by itself determine the term's exact contribution in every clause.
