In Jonah 4:8, the feminine singular absolute form modifies the east wind that God appoints; the verse then describes the sun beating on Jonah's head and Jonah becoming faint. The APB renders the clause "God appointed a scorching east wind,".
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Jonah 4:8, the APB presents the term within "a scorching east wind." This rendering confirms the clause's portrayal without isolating every contribution of the Hebrew form.
