In Ruth 1:16 and Ruth 1:17, the APB renders repeated location clauses, “Where you go” and “Where you die”; in Isaiah 56:4 it renders clauses identifying eunuchs “who keep my Sabbaths” and “who choose what delights me.” Other clauses similarly specify an activity or circumstance, as in Ecclesiastes 3:9, “the work in which he labors,” and Genesis 21:17, “where he is.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB reflects the relative-clause connections with forms such as “where,” “who,” and “in which,” but it is a whole-verse translation to the particle.
