    In Daniel 2:35, the construct masculine plural form occurs in the phrase comparing the crushed iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold with chaff from summer threshing floors. The APB renders the verse, "became like chaff from the summer threshing floors," before saying that the wind carried it away.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 2:35, the APB presents the term within "chaff from the summer threshing floors." This wording confirms the verse’s comparison rather than isolating a precise English equivalent.
