    In Jeremiah 19:2, the feminine singular absolute forms occur in the phrase naming the gate at the entry to the Valley of Ben-hinnom, where the instruction is to go and proclaim words. The APB renders the location as “the entry of the Potsherd Gate.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Jeremiah 19:2, the APB presents the term within the place-name “Potsherd Gate”; It does not isolate the term's individual contribution beyond that designation.
