thicket
se.vakh denotes tangled wooded growth, depicted as a place where a ram is caught or that is cut down.
The attested use denotes tangled wooded growth: a ram is caught there in Genesis 22:13, axes are raised into it in Psalm 74:5, and such growth is cut down in Isaiah 10:34. Isaiah 9:17 has a plural construct form, though the APB wording there does not make its specific contribution identifiable.

In Genesis 22:13, the singular absolute form occurs in the setting where the APB renders a ram as caught “in the thicket” by its horns. In Psalm 74:5, a singular construct form stands in the phrase rendered “the thicket of the wood,” while Isaiah 10:34 has a plural construct form in the clause rendered “the thickets of the forest” being cut down. Isaiah 9:17 also has the plural construct form, but the APB’s verse rendering does not isolate its contribution.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “thicket” in Genesis 22:13 and Psalm 74:5 and “thickets of the forest” in Isaiah 10:34. Its rendering of Isaiah 9:17 does not visibly reflect the term.
