    In Daniel 7:28, the construct singular form occurs in Daniel's statement that he kept the matter within himself after being greatly alarmed. The APB renders the clause "and I kept the matter in my heart," while the surrounding verse associates this keeping with Daniel's troubled thoughts and altered appearance.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 7:28, the APB presents the relevant clause as "and I kept the matter in my heart." Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, this shows the clause's presentation rather than establishing a precise English equivalent.
