    In Deuteronomy 32:26, the Hiphil cohortative first-person singular form occurs in the declaration, “I will scatter them afar”; the following clause speaks of making their memory cease from among humankind. The APB presents the verse’s action as scattering and removal from remembrance.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Deuteronomy 32:26, the APB renders the clause “I will scatter them afar.” This identifies the verse-level presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
