The adverb marks the manner or outcome specified by its clause. In Exodus 12:11 the APB renders the eating instructions “Thus you shall eat it”; in Numbers 15:11, Numbers 15:12, and Numbers 15:13 it frames the prescribed handling of offerings. It also points to a described public action in Esther 6:9, to the announced breaking of city and people in Jeremiah 19:11, and to the same treatment of Israel’s enemies in Joshua 10:25.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the clause with “Thus,” especially in instructions and declarations; elsewhere it uses wording such as “the same” or “like this.” These renderings show the verse-level presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
