    In Joel 2:6, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in the clause about peoples trembling, and the APB renders the result, “all faces grow pale.” The same form occurs in Nahum 2:11, but the APB’s description of the lions’ habitation does not make the term’s specific contribution identifiable.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Joel 2:6 the APB renders the relevant clause “all faces grow pale.” In Nahum 2:11, its lion-habitation wording supplies no evident corresponding English expression.
