    In Ezekiel 23:15, the masculine plural construct form describes figures whose dress includes a girdle at the loins; the APB renders the clause “belted with a girdle at their loins.” In Proverbs 31:24, the masculine singular absolute form occurs in the clause about an item given to the merchant, which the APB renders as “gives a belt to the merchant.”
