   The singular and plural noun names trees in several concrete settings: in Genesis 35:8 the APB renders Deborah's burial as occurring "under the oak," and in Ezekiel 27:6 it renders oaks as the material for oars. In Amos 2:9 the APB compares the Amorite's strength to "the oaks," while Isaiah 6:13 uses an oak whose stump remains after it is felled; Isaiah 44:14 places an oak among trees cut and grown in the forest, and Zechariah 11:2 addresses the oaks of Bashan amid the downfall of the forest.

In the Anselm Paraphrase: The APB consistently presents the term with "oak" or "oaks," including trees used for oars, trees under which burial and offerings occur, and trees used in comparisons. Because the paraphrase is not word-aligned, these English forms confirm the clauses' tree imagery rather than establish a separate rendering for every occurrence.
