In Isaiah 7:19, the plural form names the thornbushes among the ravines, rock clefts, and watering places where “They will all come and settle.” In Isaiah 55:13, the singular form stands in the contrast where the APB renders, “Instead of the thorn bush shall come up the cypress.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “thornbushes” in Isaiah 7:19 and “thorn bush” in Isaiah 55:13. These English phrases reflect the verse contexts.
