    In Genesis 24:33, the Qal passive sequential imperfect form occurs where food is set before a man to eat; the APB renders the clause, "Food was set before him to eat." In Genesis 50:26, the Qal sequential imperfect form occurs in the burial account; the APB renders that they "placed him in a coffin in Egypt."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the placement with "was set before him" in Genesis 24:33 and "placed him in a coffin" in Genesis 50:26. These clauses confirm the verse contexts rather than fix a separate English rendering for each form.
