In Genesis 41:2 and Genesis 41:5, feminine plural forms occur in Pharaoh's dream descriptions of seven cows and seven ears of grain; the APB renders the clauses with “fat in flesh” and “fat and good.” The same description is applied to the youths' appearance in Daniel 1:15, to Eglon in Judges 3:17, and to animals selected or consumed in Ezekiel 34:3; Habakkuk 1:16 extends the wording to a rich portion and fat food.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the described condition with “fat,” including “fat in flesh,” “fatter in flesh,” and “fat one”; for grain it uses “fat and good” and “fat and full.” These renderings indicate the clauses' overall presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent in every occurrence.
