Spider in web and house imagery · dominant
Both occurrences use a common masculine singular absolute noun. In Isaiah 59:5, the APB renders the clause “weave webs of a spider”; in Job 8:14, it renders trust as “the house of the spider,” placing the creature in imagery of weaving and a house.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “spider” in both verses, once with “webs” and once with “house.” These phrases confirm the verse-level imagery rather than isolating every contribution of the Hebrew noun.
