   In 1 Kings 7:26 and 1 Kings 7:38, the singular absolute form occurs in statements of what large vessels hold; the APB renders the clauses “two thousand baths” and “forty baths.” In Ezekiel 45:11 and Ezekiel 45:14, the term is used in stated equivalences with the homer and in the quantity of oil, while Isaiah 5:10 uses it for the vineyard's limited yield. The plural forms in 2 Chronicles 4:5 likewise occur in a vessel-capacity statement; 2 Chronicles 2:9 contains two plural forms, though the supplied APB rendering does not explicitly show their contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB generally presents the term directly as “bath” or “baths” in capacity, yield, and measurement clauses. In 2 Chronicles 2:9, plural forms are present in the supplied original-language data, but the supplied APB sentence does not explicitly render them.
