Raisin cake in a public distribution · dominant
In 1 Chronicles 16:3, the masculine singular absolute form occurs in a distribution to every man and woman in Israel; the APB renders the listed food as “a cake of raisins.” In 2 Samuel 6:19, the same form occurs in the portion given to each person, and the APB again renders the food item “a cake of raisins.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both cited verses, the APB presents the item as “a cake of raisins” within a distribution of food. This rendering reflects the clause-level presentation rather than an isolated lexical equation.
