    In Deuteronomy 28:28, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in the list of conditions with which the LORD will strike the addressee; the APB renders the clause "The LORD will strike you with madness and with blindness and with bewilderment of heart." In Zechariah 12:4, the same form is part of the announced striking of every horse of the peoples; the APB renders "every horse of the peoples I will strike with blindness."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the relevant clauses with "blindness" in both Deuteronomy 28:28 and Zechariah 12:4. This rendering confirms the verse-level presentation rather than isolating every detail of the Hebrew noun.
