In Micah 4:7, the Niphal passive participle feminine singular absolute occurs in the clause naming the cast-off alongside the lame; the APB renders the clause “I will make the lame a remnant and the cast-off a strong nation.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Micah 4:7, the APB presents the person as “the cast-off” in a restoration statement. This identifies the clause’s presentation rather than a precise lexical equivalence.
