In Exodus 23:12, the Niphal imperfect occurs in the seventh-day rest instruction for the ox, donkey, maidservant's child, and sojourner; the APB renders the clause "may be refreshed." Exodus 31:17 likewise places the Niphal sequential imperfect after ceasing on the seventh day, while 2 Samuel 16:14 uses the same stem and form sequence when the king and his people arrive "in a faint state" and are refreshed there.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all three verses, the APB presents the relevant outcome with "refreshed" or "may be refreshed." These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than isolate a precise English equivalent in each case.
