    In Numbers 12:1, the feminine singular absolute form occurs twice in the clause about the woman Moses had taken; the APB renders the verse with “the Cushite woman” as the reason Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Numbers 12:1, the APB presents the woman twice as “the Cushite woman.” This reflects the verse's presentation rather than a precise token-by-token rendering.
