The construct forms occur in repeated gate descriptions: in Ezekiel 40:21 the APB renders the components as “its pillars and its arches,” while Ezekiel 40:25 places them with surrounding windows and measurements. In Ezekiel 40:31, the plural construct form is associated with a feature facing the outer court; Ezekiel 40:26 places the same feature before the ascent.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the occurrences, the APB regularly presents the relevant structural component as “arches,” often alongside pillars, windows, steps, or dimensions. This repeated rendering confirms the verse-level architectural context rather than isolating every individual token.
