    The form marks the person addressed in clauses directed toward that person: in Genesis 12:11 the APB renders Abram's description of Sarai, “you are a woman beautiful in appearance”; in Esther 4:14 it includes the addressed person in the warning that “you and the house of your father will perish.” In Ezekiel 16:33 the addressee is contrasted with others who give gifts, while Ruth 3:10 addresses the woman whose kindness is praised.
