   The Niphal forms describe persons setting themselves apart: in Ezekiel 14:7 the APB renders a man as one who “separates himself from following me,” while in Leviticus 22:2 it renders Aaron and his sons as separating themselves from holy things. Hosea 9:10 places the plural form in the clause that the fathers “dedicated themselves to shame,” and Zechariah 7:3 uses the infinitive in asking about weeping “by dedicating myself.” The Hiphil form in Leviticus 15:31 directs that the sons of Israel be separated from uncleanness.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the clauses with “separates himself,” “separate themselves,” “separate,” and “dedicated themselves” or “dedicating myself.” These variations show the verse-level presentation rather than separate lexical meanings.
