    All supplied tokens are tagged as Proper. In 1 Chronicles 2:6 the APB renders the name among Zerah’s sons, and in 1 Chronicles 2:8 it renders him as the father of Azariah; in 1 Chronicles 15:17 and 1 Chronicles 15:19 it identifies the figure listed with Heman and Asaph among the appointed singers.

In the Anselm Paraphrase: Where the name is visible, the APB presents it as “Ethan,” including the genealogical notices in 1 Chronicles 2:6 and 1 Chronicles 2:8 and the singer lists in 1 Chronicles 15:17 and 1 Chronicles 15:19. In several other supplied verses the paraphrase does not visibly reproduce the name, so its precise English placement cannot be isolated from the paraphrase alone.
