All four occurrences are feminine plural absolute nouns in clauses concerning material gifts or supplies. In Genesis 24:53 the APB renders the servant giving silver articles, gold articles, garments, and “precious things” to Rebekah’s family; 2 Chronicles 21:3 similarly places them among gifts of silver, gold, and fortified cities. In 2 Chronicles 32:23 they are brought to Hezekiah, and in Ezra 1:6 they are supplied alongside silver, gold, property, and animals.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited verses, the APB presents the term as “precious things” within lists of gifts, offerings, or supplies. The repeated English wording confirms the overall presentation of the clauses rather than a precise lexical equivalence.
