In Isaiah 23:13, the masculine plural construct form occurs in the clause about structures being raised; the APB renders the surrounding clause, “they raised her towers, stripped her citadels, and made her a ruin.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 23:13, the APB presents the surrounding clause with “they raised her towers.” This wording confirms the verse’s setting without isolating every contribution of the Hebrew form.
