    In 1 Kings 7:24, the construct singular occurs in the clause about two rows of gourds around the sea; the APB renders that they “were cast with it.” In 1 Kings 7:30, the feminine plural passive participle describes the supports beneath the basin; the APB renders that “the supports were cast.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents both clauses with “cast,” for the gourds in 1 Kings 7:24 and the supports in 1 Kings 7:30. These renderings confirm the construction context rather than isolate every contribution of the term.
