   The plural noun occurs among objects being removed or destroyed: in Ezekiel 6:4 the APB renders that the pillars "will be broken," and in Ezekiel 6:6 that they "will be cut down." Isaiah 17:8 places them beside altars and Asherah as things no longer seen, while Isaiah 27:9 says that Asherah and the pillars "will not rise." Leviticus 26:30 likewise places the construct plural in a clause where high places are destroyed and pillars are cut down.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Where the correspondence is most visible, the APB calls them "pillars," describing them as "broken," "cut down," or unable to "rise." In other verses it foregrounds nearby altars, idols, Asherah, or incense altars, so the translation does not always isolate the term's contribution.
