In Genesis 30:37, the singular noun occurs among the rods Jacob takes and peels; the APB renders the list as including “plane tree.” In Ezekiel 31:8, the plural noun occurs in a comparison of trees and their boughs; the APB renders “no plane trees were like its boughs.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “plane tree” in Genesis 30:37 and “plane trees” in Ezekiel 31:8. These renderings confirm the tree reference within each verse's clause rather than establish finer distinctions.
