In Isaiah 11:8, the Qal perfect masculine singular form occurs in the clause about the weaned child and the viper’s den. The APB renders the clause, “the weaned child shall put his hand on the viper's den,” presenting an outward movement of the child’s hand.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 11:8, the APB presents the action as the child putting “his hand on the viper's den.” Its precise English wording cannot be assigned to the Hebrew form with certainty.
