    The decoded morphology consistently identifies a personal first-person common plural pronoun. In Genesis 42:11 the APB presents the speakers' collective claim as "all sons of one man," while 1 Samuel 14:8 presents Jonathan and his companion as about to cross over; in 2 Chronicles 20:12 the collective speaker confesses lack of strength and directs its eyes toward God.
