Rust remaining on a pot · dominant
In Ezekiel 24:6 the construct form occurs in clauses about a pot from which the rust has not gone out. Ezekiel 24:11 and Ezekiel 24:12 continue the same portrayal: the APB renders rust being finished, not coming out, and remaining in the fire.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently presents the term as “rust” in the pot imagery of Ezekiel 24:6, Ezekiel 24:11, and Ezekiel 24:12. Its repeated wording confirms the verse-level image rather than isolating each token's English equivalent.
