Second-person masculine singular address · dominant
The supplied morphology consistently identifies a personal, second-person masculine singular form. In Daniel 2:37 the APB renders the address to the king, “You, O king,” before describing the kingdom given to him; in Daniel 5:22 it addresses Belshazzar in the clause “you, his son Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart.” In Ezra 7:25 the APB presents the same address in a directive to Ezra: “And you, Ezra, ... appoint magistrates and judges.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly makes the direct address explicit with “You” or “you,” often alongside “O king” or a named addressee, as in Daniel 2:37 and Ezra 7:25. These English forms indicate the clause's address rather than a fixed token-for-token rendering.
