    In Isaiah 19:3, the masculine plural absolute form occurs in the list of those Egypt will seek after its counsel is swallowed up; the APB renders the list as “the idols, the mutterers, the mediums, and the spiritists.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 19:3, the APB presents the term within the list “the idols, the mutterers, the mediums, and the spiritists.” That wording is treated as confirmation of the list’s setting rather than a precise lexical equation.
