    In Genesis 31:7, the plural absolute form occurs in the clause that the speaker's wage was changed ten times; the APB renders the verse, "Your father deceived me and changed my wage ten times." In Genesis 31:41, the same plural absolute form again stands in the statement that wages were changed ten times after years of service.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Genesis 31:7 and Genesis 31:41, the APB presents the clause as wages changed "ten times." The precise contribution of the noun is identified from its plural form and repeated clause context.
