    Where the form is tagged Preposition, it links an action or condition to its setting or means. In Isaiah 43:2 the APB renders passage “through the waters” and “through the rivers”; in Job 19:16 it renders pleading “with my mouth,” and in Psalm 11:2 it renders the arrow “upon the cord.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB expresses the surrounding relationships with wording such as “through,” “with,” and “upon,” but it is a whole-verse translation and does not align those English words directly to the Hebrew token.
