Voluntary participation and giving · dominant
In Ezra 7:13, the masculine singular Poal participle identifies a person permitted to go to Jerusalem; the APB renders the clause “every volunteer in my kingdom.” In Ezra 7:15, the plural Poal perfect occurs in the clause about silver and gold offered to the God of Israel, while Ezra 7:16 places a common feminine singular construct noun form in the phrase the APB renders “the freewill offerings of the people and the priests.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the clauses with “volunteer,” “freely offered,” and “freewill offerings.” These renderings confirm the verses’ voluntary action and giving without assigning each English expression precisely to a particular form.
