The masculine plural noun occurs in accounts of people being struck with this condition. In Genesis 19:11 the APB renders that the men at the house entrance were struck "with blindness" and then wearied themselves trying to find the entrance; in 2 Kings 6:18 it renders Elisha's request that the approaching people be struck "with blindness," followed by their being struck.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both cited verses, the APB presents the condition with the phrase "with blindness." This rendering confirms the clause-level presentation rather than isolating each token individually.
