1. Young growth of trees and vines · dominant

   In Job 14:7, Job 15:30, and Job 8:16, the singular construct form occurs in statements about a tree: the APB renders renewed growth after cutting, growth that withers by flame, and growth coming out over a garden. The plural construct form occurs with a cedar's topmost branches in Ezekiel 17:22 and with a vine image in Hosea 14:7; Psalm 80:12 likewise has the plural form in the image of a plant whose growth is plucked by passersby.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “shoot” in Job 14:7, Job 15:30, Job 8:16, and Ezekiel 17:22. In Hosea 14:7 and Psalm 80:12, the translation presents the vine and plucking imagery without consistently isolating the term in English.
