In Daniel 6:11, the feminine singular construct form occurs in the setting where Daniel is found making petition and supplication before his God. The APB renders the verse’s action as “found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God,” but does not isolate this noun with a corresponding English word.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 6:11, the APB presents Daniel’s petition and supplication but does not visibly render the noun as a separate English term.
