ga.zel denotes an act condemned alongside extortion, injustice, and oppression, though one occurrence is not clear in the translation.

The clearly contextualized uses present ga.zel as a condemned act: Ezekiel 22:29 places it with extortion and the mistreatment of vulnerable people, while Isaiah 61:8 places it under the LORD's rejection beside justice. Psalm 62:11 supplies the form, but its APB wording does not make the term's contribution identifiable.

1. Condemned taking or injustice · dominant

   In Ezekiel 22:29, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in a clause where the people practice extortion, oppress the poor and needy, and wrong the sojourner without justice; the APB renders the verse with “committed robbery.” In Isaiah 61:8, the same morphology occurs in the declaration that the LORD loves justice and rejects the conduct; the APB renders the clause “I hate robbery with burnt offering.”

   Ezekiel 22:29Isaiah 61:8

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “robbery” in Ezekiel 22:29 and Isaiah 61:8, but it is a whole-verse translation. In Psalm 62:11, the supplied APB clause does not visibly identify a corresponding English rendering.
