    In Isaiah 1:8, the feminine singular absolute noun occurs in the phrase comparing the daughter of Zion to a lodge in this setting. The APB renders the comparison as “like a lodge in a cucumber field,” alongside the image of a booth in a vineyard.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 1:8, the APB presents the term within the phrase “a cucumber field.” This rendering confirms the verse's setting without isolating every contribution of the Hebrew noun.
