The construct noun occurs in route-related clauses. In Genesis 35:16 and Genesis 48:7, the APB renders a remaining stretch to Ephrathah as “some distance”; in 2 Kings 5:19, it renders the departure as going “a distance of land.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with “some distance” in the two Ephrathah route clauses and “a distance of land” in 2 Kings 5:19. These phrases confirm the clauses' spatial setting rather than establish separate meanings.
