    In Daniel 7:4, the Qal passive perfect masculine plural form occurs in the clause concerning the first beast’s wings. The APB renders the clause, “its wings were plucked off,” before the beast is lifted from the earth and made to stand like a man.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 7:4, the APB presents the action as “its wings were plucked off.” This rendering confirms the clause’s overall action rather than isolating every feature of the Aramaic form.
