Both occurrences use the masculine plural absolute form. In Proverbs 31:22 the APB renders the clause “She makes coverings for herself,” while in Proverbs 7:16 it renders “I have spread my bed with coverings,” showing coverings made for use and laid over a bed.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “coverings” in both clauses, presenting them as items made in Proverbs 31:22 and spread on a bed in Proverbs 7:16. This identifies the clause-level presentation rather than a precise one-to-one rendering.
