Destination of return for prisoners of hope · dominant
In Zechariah 9:12, the masculine singular absolute noun stands after the command to return and identifies the destination for the “prisoners of hope.” The APB renders the clause “Return to the stronghold, O prisoners of hope,” followed by a declaration of doubled restoration.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Zechariah 9:12, the APB presents the destination in the command as “the stronghold.” The clause rather than the English token establishes the noun's contribution.
