In Ezekiel 1:14, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in the comparison for the creatures' back-and-forth motion; the APB renders the verse, "The creatures darted back and forth like flashes of lightning."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Ezekiel 1:14, the APB presents the comparison as "like flashes of lightning." This shows the verse's image rather than isolating a precise English token for the noun.
