In 1 Chronicles 5:4 the APB renders Gog within the succession of Joel’s sons; in Ezekiel 38:2, Ezekiel 38:16, Ezekiel 38:18, Ezekiel 39:1, and Ezekiel 39:11, the APB presents Gog as the leader addressed in prophecy, coming against Israel, and receiving burial with his multitude.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently presents the term as “Gog” rather than translating it, whether in the genealogy of 1 Chronicles 5:4 or Ezekiel’s prophetic scenes. These renderings confirm the named-person usage without isolating every grammatical contribution of the Hebrew form.
