    In Exodus 26:12, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in the clause concerning the remaining curtains of the tent and their half-curtain extending over the back of the tabernacle. The APB renders the clause, “the excess of the remaining curtains of the tent, half of the remaining curtain, shall overrun upon the back of the tabernacle.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Exodus 26:12, the APB presents the clause with “the excess of the remaining curtains,” followed by the half-curtain overrunning the tabernacle’s back. This wording confirms the clause’s overall presentation rather than isolating a precise English equivalent.
