    In Deuteronomy 15:2, the construct singular noun occurs in the phrase concerning “every master” and his lending obligation; the clause then requires release of what he lends to his neighbor. The APB renders the verse’s setting as “every master of a loan of his hand shall release what he lends to his neighbor.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Deuteronomy 15:2, the APB presents the clause with “a loan of his hand” and the release of what is lent. This wording confirms the verse’s lending context rather than isolating a precise English equivalent.
