In Ezekiel 23:43, the masculine plural absolute form occurs in a statement concerning “old adulteries,” followed by a prediction of further fornication. In Jeremiah 13:27, the masculine plural construct form stands in an accusation that also names neighings, lewd whorings, and abominations; the APB renders the clause “I have seen your adulteries.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with “adulteries” in both verses, though the surrounding clauses also use “fornication” and “lewd whorings.” Those surrounding expressions cannot be assigned individually to the lemma.
