    In Ezra 7:17, the determined masculine singular noun occurs after the instruction to purchase animals and accompanying offerings, identifying the place where they are to be offered. The APB renders the clause “and you shall offer them on the altar of the house of your God in Jerusalem.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Ezra 7:17, the APB presents the term in the clause “on the altar of the house of your God in Jerusalem.” This reflects the clause's presentation rather than a precise token-by-token mapping.
