   In Ruth 3:4, Ruth 3:7, Ruth 3:8, and Ruth 3:14, the construct forms occur in clauses about uncovering, lying at, and rising from the man's feet; the APB renders these clauses with “his feet” and “at his feet.” In Daniel 10:6, the plural construct form belongs to the description of a figure's body, and the APB renders the clause “his arms and his feet like the eye of burnished bronze.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “feet” in the bodily description of Daniel 10:6 and in Ruth's actions near the man in Ruth 3:4, Ruth 3:7, Ruth 3:8, and Ruth 3:14. These renderings confirm the clauses' setting rather than fixing a separate English equivalent for each form.
