    The supplied morphology consistently identifies the form as a relative particle. In 1 Chronicles 15:15 the APB renders the Levites' carrying of the ark in comparison with Moses' command, while in 1 Kings 21:11 it connects the elders' action with what Jezebel had sent and what was written in her letters; 1 Samuel 26:24 likewise frames a comparison between David's valuation of Saul's life and the requested valuation of David's life.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB often reflects the clause relation with phrases such as “just as,” “as,” or “that,” but it is a whole-verse translation and may express the particle's connection more loosely.
