In Ezekiel 13:18, the feminine plural absolute form occurs in the clause about women sewing objects “on all wrists”; the APB renders the verse with “amulets.” In Ezekiel 13:20, the feminine plural construct form is associated with arms and with hunting souls, and the APB again renders the clause with “amulets.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Ezekiel 13:18 and Ezekiel 13:20, the APB presents the objects as “amulets.” The verse is read as a whole, but in both verses it places them in clauses concerning wrists or arms and hunting souls.
