    The Piel imperfect masculine singular form occurs in the description of Dan as a lion's cub; in Deuteronomy 33:22 the APB renders the image as one “that leaps from Bashan.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Deuteronomy 33:22, the APB presents the clause with “leaps from Bashan.” This reflects the verse's lion-cub image rather than isolating the term mechanically.
