    The form is tagged Noun · Proper in all three verses. In 1 Chronicles 6:36 the APB renders a chain of descent including “Son of Elkanah, son of Joel, son of Azariah, son of Zephaniah”; in Ezra 7:4 it renders “son of Zerahiah son of Uzzi son of Bukki.” In Numbers 34:22 the APB identifies “the leader Bukki son of Jogli” from the tribe of Dan.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name explicitly as “Bukki” in Ezra 7:4 and Numbers 34:22; 1 Chronicles 6:36 gives the surrounding genealogical line without that English name. Its treatment does not isolate the Hebrew form in every verse.
