   Plural absolute forms name gathered offerings in 2 Chronicles 31:6 and piles being completed in 2 Chronicles 31:7; the APB renders these clauses "heaps upon heaps" and "pile the heaps." The same use appears with grain brought for transport in Nehemiah 13:15, beside a heap of grain in Ruth 3:7, and as a heap measured in Haggai 2:16. In Jeremiah 50:26, the plural form supplies the comparison in the command to "pile her up like heaps."
