Enclosure for a captive · dominant
The masculine singular absolute noun names the enclosure into which the captive is put in Ezekiel 19:9. In Ezekiel 19:9 the APB renders the clause “they put him in a cage with hooks,” within the captive's transfer to the king of Babylon.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Ezekiel 19:9, the APB presents the enclosure as “a cage with hooks.” The precise contribution of the noun beyond the confinement setting cannot be isolated further.
