In Ezekiel 21:20, the feminine singular absolute form occurs in the clause concerning the sword and its course against Rabbah, Judah, and Jerusalem. The APB renders the verse, "Set the way for the sword to come against Rabbah of the Ammonites and against Judah in fortified Jerusalem," but does not identify a separate English equivalent for this adjective.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Ezekiel 21:20, the APB presents the sword's advance but does not separately render the adjective in a one-to-one way.
