    In Ezekiel 27:29, the masculine singular absolute form occurs in the group described as going down from their ships; the APB renders the clause "all who grasp an oar," alongside mariners and pilots standing on land.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Ezekiel 27:29, the APB presents the relevant clause as "all who grasp an oar." This identifies the verse's presentation rather than a precise one-to-one rendering.
