    In Proverbs 20:24 and Psalm 37:23, the plural construct form occurs in clauses about a man's way: in Proverbs 20:24 the APB renders, "A man's steps come from the LORD," and in Psalm 37:23, "The steps of a man are established by the LORD." In Daniel 11:43, the same form places Libyans and Ethiopians "in his steps," showing steps as the position associated with a ruler's advance or following.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "steps" in Proverbs 20:24 and Psalm 37:23 and "in his steps" in Daniel 11:43. These phrases indicate the clause-level presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
